Mandi Martin

I was diagnosed with Autism at a late age, which led to social isolation, so writing is an outlet. I became more determined after being diagnosed with an incurable lung disease.

These are just a part of me and always will be.

If my work inspires one person to think, brings them enjoyment, and perhaps encourages them to be themselves and make something of themselves, then I have succeeded.

I live in the UK and spend my time between Birmingham and the Isle of Wight, where I draw much of my inspiration.

I share my home with my mother, who is my biggest inspiration, two cats and a cross between a man and an ape, my brother.
