Martina Boone is the award-winning author of the romantic southern gothic Heirs of Watson Island series, including COMPULSION, PERSUASION, and ILLUSION from Simon & Schuster, Simon Pulse and the Celtic Legends Collection of novels set in Scotland, Cornwall, and Ireland beginning with LAKE OF DESTINY. She's also the founder of AdventuresInYAPublishing.com, a Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers Site, and a founder of the First Five Pages Workshop to help writers begin their journey to publication. She's on the board of the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia and runs the CompulsionForReading.com program to distribute books to underserved schools and libraries. She lives with her husband, children, Shetland Sheepdog and a lopsided cat, and she enjoys writing contemporary fantasy set in the sorts of magical places she'd love to visit. When she isn't writing, she's addicted to travel, horses, skiing, chocolate flavored tea, and anything with Nutella on it. See less
