Frederic (Fritz) Martin was born in Iowa, grew up in Western New York, and lived and worked in Maine, Idaho, and California, finally settling in Vermont where he now lives and writes. Along the way, he jack-hammered concrete, worked as a mechanic, drove a taxi, delivered papers, rowed dories as a guide on the great western rivers, hitch-hiked everywhere, read a lot, and somehow picked up a college degree in Physics.

He has since published several short stories and novels. ...more

I started writing fiction for the first time after reading the last book of Suzanne Collins' "Gregor the Overlander" series. I really, really loved that series, but, like "Hunger Games", I wanted a different ending, so I sat down and wrote *gulp* a fanfic! And I really enjoyed writing it!

Forrester who is most famous for his Horatio Hornblower series, but who also wrote a lot of good historical novels including "The Good Shepherd". I want to read a lot more of his lesser-known books. I also like WWII books since my father was a P51 fighter pilot based in Iwo Jima. A good book by one of his squadron mates is "Of War and Weddings" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8....(less)
