Author Biography Charles Martin is a New York Times bestselling author of eight previous novels, including his most recent book Thunder and Rain. His work has been translated into seventeen languages. When not writing, his hobbies include bow hunting, working out (a blend of old school stuff and martial arts, called Fight Fit), and Tae Kwon Do, in which he currently has a black belt, though he notes he is the least flexible person youve ever met. He lives with his wife, Christy, and their three sons in Jacksonville, Florida. Review "...entertaining hybrid of James Lee Burkes morality tales and Nicholas Sparks sentimental journeys.A John Wayne hero, multiple appreciations of the Colt Model 1911 and a cowboy-gets-the-girl"--Kirkus Reviews on Thunder and Rain"A spellbinding novel...Charles Martin took the threads of his storyline and wrapped them around my heart. His unforgettable characters captivate as they confront their hidden pasts and build upon their futures with faith, friendship, and grace."--Elin Hilderbrand, author of Beautiful Day on Unwritten"Charles Martin is an imaginative, gutsy storyteller....Unwritten is a fast-paced narrative of transcontinental intrigue."--Karen Spears Zacharias, author, A Silence of Mockingbirds: The Memoir of a Murder"Charles Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers. In Unwritten there is no easy answer and Sunday and Katie must find their way through fire to possibly emerge whole and changed. "One more chapter," youll say to yourself, but there wont be one more chapter becauseyou wont be able to put Unwritten down."--Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of And Then I Found You"Charles Martins latest novel brings to mind the storytelling traditions of Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham. Unwritten is a novel for the heartbut its also one of adventure. From the Florida Everglades to the hills of France, Martin takes the reader on a magical journey of two troubled souls in search of love and redemption. Unwritten is a page turner and has all the ingredients to become a box office smash."--Michael Morris, author of Man in the Blue Moon "I found Unwritten one of those strangely beautiful, exotically original novels whose substance dawns slowly to the readers consciousness like a glorious sunrise. Do not start this book unless you have time to savor, reflect, and renew. Do, if you have space to fit a memorable reading experience into your life."--Leila Meacham, author of Tumbleweeds"Martin has an incredible gift for characterization and writing that tugs at the emotions without being overly melodramatic. This is the type of novel you will want to read quickly, because it is so engrossing, yet want to savor because the prose is meaningful and poignant." --RT Book Reviews (**** 1/2) on Thunder and Rain"Martins story charges headlong into the sentimental territory-and best-seller terrain-of The Notebook, which doubtless will mean major studio screen treatment. Buy tissues. Tears will flow."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Reading an advance copy of Unwritten felt like being in on a well-kept secret you just know is destined to blow sky high and leave a mark far and wide. This is what story is meant to be, delivered in prose that will propel you to the next scene, the next page, the next reveal. Charles Martin will pull you into the lives of Katie Quinn, Steady, and Sunday, and you wont even realize their stories are changing yours forever until its time to leave them on the page."--Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, Belle of All Things Southern and author of Sue Ellens Girl Aint Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy!Every word Martin writes seems to be purposefully chosen and adds to the beautiful picture he paints with prose. The characters are so real they radiate from the page. Readers will be moved, touched and changed.--RT Book Reviews, ****1/2 on Unwritten Promotional An actress running from her past finds escape with a man hiding from his future.
