Craig Martelle

Craig Martelle is an urban fantasy and science fiction author from Alaska. Martelle makes use of his business consulting career, his legal education, and more than two decades of experience in the Marine Corps to write some interesting stories with very believable characters. Looking at his marine and legal consulting careers, it would have been hard to ever think that he would one day become a bestselling science fiction author. Once he left the Marine Corps, he thought he should better find something to do with his life and went to law school. Thereafter he got into legal consulting for businesses and for seven years, he worked with Fortune 100 companies. When Craig retired from consulting he believed it was time to write the novel he had always wanted to write. “Nightwalker” his debut novel would take him 61 days to write and his second only twenty-eight days which would become the average time he took to write his novel once he got into a rhythm. Martelle has said that he loves writing material that contains a lot of action, flows quickly, and is easy to read. More often than not, he sets a target of 2700 words to write on any given day though he sometimes goes up to 3200 every day. His structured approach to writing comes from his days as a business consultant where he was often hired to improve processes for companies.
