About the Author

Henry Martin, born in Windsor, UK, brings a wealth of international experience and scientific knowledge to his writing. His journey has taken him across continents, living and working in diverse locations, including Britain, South Africa, Belgium, and several other countries in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

With a Higher National Certificate in Chemistry and a background in veterinary medicine, Henry's career has spanned from laboratory work to managing a K9 security company. His professional path later led him into the world of computers, where he became a qualified Novell and Microsoft computer engineer.

Henry's martial arts background in Aikido and Judo adds authenticity to the action scenes in his writing. His debut novel, "Sanctuary in Shadows", draws from his rich tapestry of experiences, blending scientific intrigue with pulse-pounding suspense.

Now retired from his technical career, Henry has focused on writing. His first short story was published in Trembling with Fear magazine, marking the beginning of his literary journey. Henry views writing as creating a movie using only words, bringing vivid scenes to life for his readers.

A private individual by nature, Henry prefers to let his work speak for itself. He resides in Belgium, where he crafts stories to challenge and entertain his readers.
