Tony Martin

Tony Martin has been writing ever since he was a "little bitty guy." He is currently associate editor of The Baptist Record, the newsjournal of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, with a circulation of 70,000. He has written or co-written curriculum and devotional material for high school and junior high school students. A native Alabamian and self-confessed "son of the South," he first became intrigued by the theology of ghosts and hauntings in a class on the occult at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife Teresa live in Brandon, Mississippi, and have two more-or-less grown and married children, Jeremy and Amy. When not working at his day job, Tony still works with teenagers, and enjoys performing magic, camping, travel, cooking, Civil War history, reading and writing, and has this inexplicable passion for any and all things Disney. His two novels available are Reign of Silence and The Fixin' Place. He also hangs out at his blog, www.youcanhavehope.com and offers online encouragement at his school, www.transformational-encouragement.teachable.com.
