Enthused by the works of leading thriller authors, Martin embarked on the long journey of writing his first book. Then in late 2011, he published his debut novel, “The Reverse Deal”. A year later he published his second novel: “The Locksmith’s Apprentice”. Work is underway on several more novels, one of which will be published some time in 2013.

Thought for the day.

"To write an excellent novel, make the outcome of the story matter to the reader through the evolving relationships between well-designed characters."
