Hi there!

On my mind

Los Angeles history, Hollywood history, cinema, historical fiction, how to go about indie publishing.

Why I'm excited to talk with readers

As an author, I'm in the communication game, and there's nothing I love more than an invigorating conversation with someone who's as interested and curious in all aspects of life as I am.

All the best,

Martin Turnbull
