Robert Martin

Robert Martin, a native of Denver, Colorado, began writing as a form of therapy after retiring from a long career in printing and publishing. Following his doctor’s advice to keep his mind sharp, Robert turned his lifelong love for reading into a passion for writing. He now channels his creativity into crafting stories of different genres, facing and overcoming the challenges of procrastination and reader reception anxiety. In his free time, Robert and his wife enjoy traveling with their two dogs in their 5th-wheel trailer, exploring new places, and finding inspiration for new stories. Whether on the road or at home, Robert enjoys the written word, sharing his experiences and imagination with readers.

His first published short story, The False Start, appeared in Write, Wrong or Otherwise (Nat 1 Publishing, 2024). His short story, Old Jack, appeared in Voices, a publication of MSU Texas, this past spring, and a poem, Rhythms of Resistance, was published by The Journal of Expressive Writing. Several other works are awaiting publication later this year and next.
