About Nick

Nick Martell was born in Guelph, Ontario, where he lived for 7 years before moving to Huntington, New York. After falling in love with a book named Frindle by Andrew Clements—Nick started writing in 5th grade, beginning to explore the world that would fully emerge in The Kingdom of Liars and The Legacy of the Mercenary King.

After graduating from Long Island Lutheran High School, Nick attended Susquehanna University. While attending, Nick was a Head Resident for Residence Life, a member of the Executive Board for a Fraternity and Inter-Fraternity Council, spent a semester abroad in France, and was a breaststroker for the varsity men’s swim team after joining the team as a walk-on his freshman year. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in creative writing and a minor in French.

Since then, Nick has done a wide range of jobs that had nothing to do with his major in university from a Quality Insurance Tester for an engineering company in New York City to a volunteer on an organic farm in Ireland. Now living in
Pennsylvania outside Allentown he still swims, finally learned how to ride a bike, reluctantly runs, and is a lazy triathlete. His dog, Murphy, watches from the couch.  

The Kingdom of Liars was his debut novel, sold when he was 23 and published in the summer of 2020. Followed by The Two-Faced Queen (2021) and Voyage of the Forgotten (2022) to finish Legacy of the Mercenary King series.
