PD Martin (Phillipa Deanne) lives in Melbourne, Australia and had developed a passion for crime fiction and story telling at an early age, starting off with Nancy Drew and Famous Five before graduating to Agatha Christie at the tender age of eight.
She completed a psychology degree, and also took lots of subjects in criminal law and criminology.
After she finished her Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences, she later completed a postgraduate certificate in creative writing and started writing in earnest, but it was not an easy or fast road to publication!
