DT Martin is a lyrical, contemporary and speculative fiction writer focused on emotionally rich, character-driven stories about love, trauma, and the ongoing work of healing. A survivor, she writes with a steady concern for resilience and recovery. Before publishing, she spent more than thirty years as an engineer and project manager, building networks and leading teams around the world. Those travels-and the connection, perspective, and grit they gave her-deeply inform her fiction. She brings landscapes, storms, and cities to the page with a clear eye for how place shapes people. Her books include the MIT-set duology What Thunder Left Behind and the epic fantasy series The Calling. She hopes her stories offer comfort, courage, and companionship to anyone fighting their way out of darkness.
