Martina was born in Florida, which was probably the last time she wasn’t cold. After living all over the U.S., she found herself in West Virginia where she graduated with an M.A. in English from West Virginia University. Since then, she has worked as a technical writer, editor, and adjunct instructor.

In her spare time, Martina enjoys comics, sci-fi, hockey, and art. She has written as a hobby since she was a tween, and recently founded Befuddling Books to publish her work. Her first novel, a satiric take on time travel called Time Binge, was published in 2016. Its sequel, Time Purge, was released shortly thereafter. Her third, a superhero parody entitled The Bedazzlers, is currently in the works. Her style draws from her love of comic books, combining science fiction, fantasy, and humor.
