A holder of degrees in music and Ancient Hebrew, Martin wrote his first science fiction novel at the age of 6, and is fascinated by the possibilities of the future and the immensity of the ancient past. THE UNRETURNED is his first novel available to more than his immediate family, and incorporates many classic sci-fi themes: alien abductions, government conspiracies, and a slightly dystopian future. Martin just moved home to Ohio with his wife and their Red Point Birman after four torturous years in Minnesota.
