About

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Madeline Martin, a USA Today bestselling author of historical romance and historical fiction novels with strong heroines and tons of high-action plot twists! My books have finaled in the Holt Medallion award and National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award. I’m represented by Laura Bradford.

I live in sunny Florida with Mr. Awesome (a man who truly deserves such a great name) and two wonderfully magical girls, known collectively as “the minions.”


I enjoy working out (really to support my love of Nutella and wine), traveling and doing fun kid-like things with the minions.

Nice to meet you! Quisque eu pulvinar justo. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Through the course of the story, Grace falls in love with reading and shares her newfound passion with the patrons of her bookshop while in the evening, she patrols the streets as bombs fall during the Blitz to ensure Londoners remain safe. 

This is one of my favorite quotes from the book because - to me at least - books really can save souls. 📚❤️

A lot of fences started to disappear from London during WWII for the metal to be melted down and repurposed for war efforts (planes, guns, ships, helmets, etc). Thus came about the invention of the stretcher fence, providing a solution for needed fencing in those new gaps and stretchers on hand at a moment's notice for help during the continual bombings in London. 

These railings could be easily pulled up, turned on their sides and used as a stretcher. 

It's incredible to me how times of strife can come up with such fascinating and logical work-around inventions such as these.

During the Blitz, Nazi aircraft dropped bombs mostly at night to avoid being shot down. However, flying in the dark amid London’s imposed black meant pilots couldn’t see where they were dropping their bombs. At least, until a bomber’s moon when the Thames was lit up like a glowing silver ribbon and everything below was completely visible. Those nights were usually pretty devastating as far as lost homes and casualties.

This is a pretty incredible picture taken just after Britain declared war on Germany with London below a German Heinkel 111 bomber.">

When writing The Last Bookshop in London, I really When writing The Last Bookshop in London, I really wanted to celebrate books and how reading can get us through some of our darkest days. 

Through the course of the story, Grace falls in love with reading and shares her newfound passion with the patrons of her bookshop while in the evening, she patrols the streets as bombs fall during the Blitz to ensure Londoners remain safe. 

This is one of my favorite quotes from the book because - to me at least - books really can save souls. 📚❤️

These look like ordinary fences, but look again! These look like ordinary fences, but look again! 

A lot of fences started to disappear from London during WWII for the metal to be melted down and repurposed for war efforts (planes, guns, ships, helmets, etc). Thus came about the invention of the stretcher fence, providing a solution for needed fencing in those new gaps and stretchers on hand at a moment's notice for help during the continual bombings in London. 

These railings could be easily pulled up, turned on their sides and used as a stretcher. 

It's incredible to me how times of strife can come up with such fascinating and logical work-around inventions such as these.

Heating Up History

One of my favorite parts about writing is researching all the things that go into my books. While all of my books have been based in England or Scotland, I have written across many time periods, from medieval to the seventeenth century to the Regency and now World War II with my debut historical fiction. Clearly, I love history!

Here are a few of my favorite subjects I’ve researched so far:

  • The spread of the bubonic plague
  • Poisons in medieval times
  • Medicine across history
  • Historical food
  • Greek mythology
  • Daily tasks and items used by characters
  • True events

For my Borderland Ladies and Borderland Rebels series, I learned so much about the conflict between England and Scotland in the fourteenth century that I couldn’t confine it solely to my books. So I created a special extras site called The Borderlands for my readers. Check it out for special character profiles, history, and short stories.
