Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

todo el libro me recordaban la muerte de mi marido Valarr y eso me deprime
fuera de eso las otras dos historias “La espada Leal” y “El caballero misterioso” son muy buenas y entretenidas, amo tanto a dunk y egg, me emociona demasiado pensar como van a adaptar estos dos relatos porque hay capítulos con mucha acción entonces mis expectativas son MUY altas
En fin viva el niño pelón y el gigante

En mi opinión, son relatos que encajarían perfectamente como un "cómic", de hecho he disfrutado de ellos como si fueran una historia ilustrada, por eso la adaptación televisiva resulta tan adecuada. El autor podría hincharse a escribir historias con esos dos personajes y (creo) que nunca aburriría. Es lo que sucede cuando alguien hace bien su trabajo, lo puede repetir de forma indefinida y el resultado siempre es satisfactorio.

Una historia preciosa llena de los valores de la caballería ostentados por un plebeyo romántico y leal. Ternura en su relación con un adolescente en la figura de su escudero y que esconde sangre real.
