Martin Sketchley grew up in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Following a brief
but passionate affair with music, he began writing behind a Tamworth
market stall at the beginning of the 1990s, and sold his first short
story to small press magazine Xenos in 1994. Having worked in
retail and then catalogue publishing, he is now a freelance writer and
editor. He lives in Birmingham, UK, with his wife, Rosaleen, and their
two children.
