About the author
Chris Martin
8 books217 followersChris Martin has been writing since high school, drawn early to stories that live just beneath the surface of ordinary life. He writes fiction that explores relationships, good and evil, and the quiet moral pressures faced by people who don't see themselves as heroes or villains—just human.
He lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina with his beautiful wife, Jennifer, their two amazing daughters, and a six-year-old pit mix named Milo. When he's not writing, Chris and Jennifer run a wedding videography business, Martin Summit Media, where they spend their days capturing real moments, real emotion, and the unscripted edges of people's lives—an influence that carries naturally into his fiction.
Chris also works full-time as a Client Onboarding Manager with Bride&Groom.video, helping wedding filmmakers build and grow their businesses.
Chris's work is grounded in realism, tension, and psychological depth. His characters are rooted in the familiar: families, marriages, memories, routines. What interests him most is what happens when those familiar structures begin to crack, when truth is buried, when systems protect the wrong people, and when doing the right thing comes at a personal cost.
Why I Write
I write because I'm fascinated by what happens beneath the surface of ordinary lives. I'm drawn to the quiet moments where relationships strain, where good intentions collide with fear, guilt, or love, and where people are forced to make choices they never imagined they'd face.
Writing is how I explore those moments. It's how I examine the way the past lingers, how stories get shaped by power and memory, and how people carry enormous weight without anyone noticing. I don't write to offer easy answers or clean resolutions. I write to sit with the uncomfortable questions, to tell stories that feel honest, human, and just unsettling enough to stay with you after the last page.

Interesting
Lacked explanation for many things and was too short. Could have gone into detail about how he escaped. and exactly what happened with his previous encounter with his stepfather and also exactly who the man Eastham
