Bio

Hi, and thanks for checking out my website! I’m Madeline Martin, a New York Times, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, and internationally bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance with books that have been translated into over twenty-five different languages.

I live in sunny Florida with my two daughters (known collectively as the minions), two incredibly spoiled cats (sorry, not sorry!) and a man so wonderful he’s been dubbed Mr. Awesome. I am a die-hard history lover and will happily lose myself in research any day. When I’m not writing, researching or ‘moming’, I’m usually at Disney or sneaking a couple spoonfuls of Nutella while laughing over cat videos. I also love to travel, and attribute my fascination with history to having spent most of my childhood as an Army brat in Germany.

I’ve been writing for over twenty years and have published with small press publishers, independently, and now through Hanover Square Press under Harper Collins. After a long career in Corporate America, I’m now a full time author and it’s such a dream realized – one that took abut fifteen years to achieve! I love giving presentations to help motivate people and share my journey and the research behind my books. And with everything I’ve learned in the decades I’ve been writing, I enjoy doing workshops to share what I know.

I also love to meet with book clubs, so make sure you check out the Book Clubs tab for reader guides and to see if I’m free to pop in for a zoom chat with your book club.
