T. Michael Martin

Mr. Fahrenheit likewise won critical plaudits, including a starred review from Booklist, which called the novel “Bradburian magic. This is The Day the Earth Stood Still by way of Something Wicked This Way Comes: campy but haunting, and about ray-gun-shooting monsters as much as it is about bittersweet broken dreams.” New York Times bestselling author Hank Green also praised the novel, stating, “[I]t’s wonderful. I love me some good alien stories! Action packed!”

Martin currently resides in Los Angeles, where he is employed by Google as a YouTube Learning, Family, & Social Impact Content Strategist. As of October 2018, Martin has also begun work on his first thriller for adults, “as a hobby,” tentatively titled No Music in the Nightingale.

After living in Indianapolis beginning in 2013 to produce “How to Adult,” in 2017 Martin, along with his co-creator Emma Mills, sold the YouTube show to John and Hank Green’s online video company, Complexly.

In a starred review Booklist writes that The End Games is "a glimmer of postapocalyptic hope" and "the best of the undead bunch," praising its "relentless action, intelligence, and emotion.". VOYA, in a glowing review, calls it "a dynamo of a debut novel," "a tale of terror worthy of the early, great Stephen King." Booklist also named it Top Youth Horror Novel of 2013 and Martin its #1 "Insanely Talented First Novelists of 2013." John Green chose The End Games as the best YA novel of Summer 2013 and calls it "the zombie book I wish I could've written."

Raised in Bridgeport, West Virginia, Martin graduated in 2007 from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Filmmaking, with the highest GPA in the school's history. He was inspired to write The End Games by his brother, Patrick, and their mutual love of zombie films.
