Author Biography
Miss Martel was born in Manitoba, Canada, to a mixed heritage of Ojibway and French parents. Her parents moved the family to Ontario when she was eleven and she remains there to this day. In the small town of Cambridge, Ontario, she decided to sit down and write a book when the ideas in her head would not leave her alone. Forty-four hours later, she had the first draft of the first book of her Vampires and Chocolate series which is now world-wide in popularity. The genre of vampires has never been told like this before. Miss Martel has shown us what a real vampire is. They are not made of marble nor do they glow or sparkle. They are just like the rest of us, which makes them that much more interesting and deadly. They could be in your neighbourhood and you would never know. Her take on the world, and where it will go, leaves us to question our own mortality, and that of the planet. She touches on everyday life questions and how the average person would deal with it, relating to most who have read the series so far. Hate it or love it, the reader will find something about themselves in the books. They can relate to Charlie, the lead character, because unlike most other vampire themed books, she is an average woman, and average women can see themselves in her place. She started writing in 2010 from a need by women to have a more realistic vampire series. Miss Martel has started venturing into the YA market for her young fans too. I wanted to get some books out there that combine being a preteen and growing up in a world surrounded by ghosts and other things that go bump in the night. I love putting the supernatural spin on everyday lives to see how they react. The Morgan Heart Chronicles is available in both paperback and E-book versions. Feel free to contact her. She has made many new friends by her devoted fans contacting her, and some have even gotten to be a character in her books. kmartelbooks@hotmail.com Twitter - kmartelbooks Facebook - KarinnMartelBooks
