Martin Caldwell is a psychological thriller writer whose work explores the dark intersections of technology, morality, and identity. Born and raised in North London, he grew up fascinated by the ripple effects of modern life — how a single decision, message, or action can spiral far beyond control.

Writing wasn’t a straight path. With dyslexia and autism, Martin found traditional routes into writing closed off, but storytelling became a way to focus and make sense of a restless mind. In his teens and early twenties, he wrote short stories and film scripts, experimenting with character-driven narratives that always leaned into the darker side of human nature. His career led him into education, where he spent years working with learners across different industries. Teaching online security and digital safety became a turning point — the questions his students asked about staying safe online eventually planted the seeds for his first full-length novel.
