Terry Martin is the son of a science fiction author (published by Baen) and brother of another (published elsewhere) and longtime friend of Baen alumnus John Dalmas. He is pleased that his own first publication would be in the Baen family with a story for Eric Flint's 1632 universe.

Trained in business management, he has worked in a wide variety of positions over the years from graphic artist to roofer, accountant to mailman, musician to, well, business management.

Mr. Martin currently lives in a 170 year old farmhouse in an historic district in Northern Virginia with his wife and younger son.
