Bernadette Thompson Martin
Many ask Bernadette Thompson Martin who she is and what makes her tick. To this she responds, "Well, essentially I am no one special, simply a person who has a special gift to share. The ability to pen one's heart and soul, and touch those of another, is a blessed endowment."
Until the age of 25, Bernadette lived in Millville, New Jersey, where she graduated from Millville Memorial High School in 1964. Unable to attend college, she was privately tutored by her uncle, a Harvard professor. In 1971 she moved to Miami, where she met and married her husband of 36 years, Ken. IN 2007, they purchased five acres of land in Cottageville, South Carolina, where they currently reside.
Bernadette has been compiling ideas for her writing work since the age of nine, collecting them in various containers, until she could start work on them after her retirement from an executive position with a Fortune 500 company in 2008. According to the author, "it is regrettable this career has begun in the autumn of my years, but had I not endured the many wonderful and bizarre experiences of life, this fantasy novel would be unable to attain the level of realism and uniqueness it presents."
