DT Martin focuses on emotionally rich, character-driven stories of love, trauma, and the ongoing work of healing.

Her experience as a survivor shape much of What Thunder Left Behind, while her love of fiction—and belief in the existence of Elvens—fuels the heart of her stories.

As an engineer and project manager, she has spent over thirty years building networks and leading teams across the world. These travels—and the resilience, connection, and perspective they gave her—deeply inform her fiction.

Though she no longer travels as widely as she once did, she brings the landscapes, storms, and cities she’s known to life on the page—transforming memory and experience into stories that speak to survival, recovery, and the possibility of love after loss. She may not have a shelf of literary awards, but she carries a lifetime of stories, hard-won perspective, and a passion for writing that has carried her across the world and back to herself. Her greatest hope is that her fiction offers comfort, courage, or companionship to anyone fighting their way out of darkness.
