Martina Boone was born in Prague and spoke several languages before learning English. She fell in love with words and never stopped delighting in them. Sheโs the author of the Heirs of Watson Island series, and the founder of both AdventuresinYAPublishing.com, a Writerโs Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers site, and YASeriesInsiders.com, a Tumblr site devoted to news, giveaways, and insider secrets of much-loved and up-and-coming YA series.
From her home in Virginia, where she lives with her husband, children, and Auggie the wonder dog, she enjoys writing contemporary fantasy set in the kinds of magical places sheโd love to visit. When she isnโt writing, sheโs addicted to travel, horses, skiing, chocolate flavored tea, and anything with Nutella on it.
