J. R. Martin was born in Texas to military parents. Due to constant travel, they ensured he had plenty of books to read. Soon reading wasn't enough, and he began writing stories of his own. Now you can find him in such collections as Gunfight on Europa Station, released by Baen, and From Planet Texas, With Love and Aliens. He also received an honorable mention in L.
