Rod Martinez

    Tento autor objevuje sílu slov již od dětství. Jeho rané dílo, které si ponechala jeho učitelka, bylo předzvěstí budoucí kariéry. Po objevení komiksů ho středoškolský učitel angličtiny nasměroval k psaní povídek. Toto tvůrčí zaměření vedlo k jeho prvnímu publikovanému dílu pro střední mládež, což odstartovalo jeho úspěšnou literární dráhu.
