About PD
PD Martin — Phillipa Deanne Martin — was born in Melbourne, Australia. A big reader from an early age, Phillipa particularly loved reading fantasy books and children’s detective books like the Famous Five and Nancy Drew books. She moved on to Agatha Christie at eight years old and wrote her first mystery novella in Grade 5.
“I was probably too young to be reading Agatha Christie, but maybe I can thank her for some of the crazy dreams I have.” (Body Count is based on a dream Phillipa had several years ago.)
Phillipa went on to study psychology at Uni and started singing. After finishing a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences, Phillipa studied music full time, gigged a bit and started writing songs, rediscovering her love of writing. A couple of years later she completed a postgraduate certificate in creative writing. From there it was one non-fiction book, one feature-length screenplay and then two unpublished young adult fantasy novels.
