J. L. Martin resides in a quiet country town in Regional Victoria, Australia.
In a past life of her own, she spent close to two decades working in the Welfare sector and at the coalface for the State Child Protection AHS Emergency Service as a lead investigator, applicant and expert witness within the Childrens’ Court—both in the family and criminal divisions—along with the Family Law and Criminal Court systems. She holds a degree in welfare and has two adult daughters and four grandchildren — along with a number of adult foster daughters and grandchildren. J L Martin’s transition to full-time author began in December 2015 when she started writing as therapy to assist in her recovery from PTSD, ultimately leading to her debut series ‘Samsara- The First Season', a story spanning a lifetime she thought would never see the light of day. We make plans... and God laughs...
