About Liam G. Martin
Making up stories has always been special to me. When I was young, I had a brain-stem stroke, which meant I had to spend a lot of time in hospital. I learned that imagining I was tracking down treasure or exploring a mythical land was much more exciting than what was happening around me! This taught me how important stories could be, and how they have the magical ability to whisk you away into new worlds.
When I eventually got a bit better, I was able to go back to mainstream school. I had my ups and downs, but in the end I came away with good enough grades to get into university. I studied Creative Writing at the University of Derby and then took a Master’s degree in Creative Writing at Nottingham Trent University, exploring fairy tales, magic realism, early child development, Norse mythology and the Viking sagas.
After that, I published my first book, Scrapbook of Dreams, a collection of short stories and poems for children. Since then I have published more books, including Chris and the Sky Pirates.
What LoveReading says
“I loved the message to believe in yourself from ‘The Magic Fork’ and I thought the twist at the end of ‘All in a Night’s Work’ was brilliant.”
Charlotte Walker, A LoveReading4Kids Ambassador on Scrapbook of Dreams
“On top of this being a swashbuckling and exciting pirate adventure for young readers to enjoy, this is also a really positive story about building confidence.”
