Dr Martin Patrick was born in London. His education includes BA Hons, M.A, PGCHE and Ph.D. He was Professor in Drama, Film and Cultural Studies, with 30 years’ experience in teaching creative writing in the UK, the COC Amsterdam, the University of Frankfurt, CUNY New York City, and University of Gävle Sweden. He has published three books, The Torment of Desire, 2025, The Labyrinth of Families 2022, Love Both Ways, 2022 and his next book, The Librarian’s Revenge will be out later in 2025. “Throughout my 20s, I read one novel every week. Crime stories, Spy thrillers and Gay literature were my favourites. As a student, I watched approximately twenty films every week. Years later, during the pandemic, I wrote four new novels before life returned to our ‘new normal,’ consequently narrative fiction has kept me informed, happy, and alive.” Martin has performed his Vignettes at Open Mic readings and Performance Arts spaces such as the prestigious ICA-Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam and in New York City. “I love to write Romance fiction that explores the lives of people’s sexual and racial identities because I believe everyone on the planet needs love to help us cope with hardships. Having spent twenty years with the greatest love of my life, that has instilled my passion for love stories.”
