About the author

I’m N W Martin, an author fascinated by health, history, and stories that often go untold. I draw from my own experiences, careful research, and guidance from professionals to write health guides that are practical, compassionate, and grounded in real life.

Beyond health writing, I love shining a light on underrepresented figures through historical biographies and creating historical fiction thrillers that weave tension with thoughtful insight. Whether I’m writing nonfiction or fiction, I’m always interested in understanding people, their choices, struggles, and the forces that shape lives.

I have been a reader and curious learner my whole life with a particular interest in botanical medicine and the ways natural approaches can complement modern treatments. I spend time experimenting with plant-based remedies, cooking, and learning from both tradition and science, all of which quietly influence my work. My best ideas usually strike in the middle of the night, and I follow them straight to my typewriter!

Through each book, I hope to inform, challenge, and connect with readers, sharing stories and guidance shaped by curiosity, care, and a deep respect for the complexity of human experience.
