Jon Martindale

Passionate about writing
I started my writing career as a tech-journalist and reviewer on my own website, before gradually transitioning to a full-time freelancer. Over the years I've written for a number of major publications, including Digital Trends, The Inquirer, KitGuru, and ItProPortal, among others, and continue to do so today.
While I still love building and writing about PCs and their accessories, my true passion lies in crafting rich and engaging stories. My first novel, The Medicine, was self-published in 2013. A second, with widely different themes and styles, should see the light of day in 2020. I also wrote the backstory for augmented reality, robot toy-line, Mekamon, and have provided flavour text and backstory for several games.
" Writing is never far from my mind. I have countless notepad documents with ideas in. I'm sure I'll get to them all, eventually..."
My books
Didn't really know what to expect from this book but I found it a very enjoyable read with a look into the world of exploration and discovery- and the effect outsiders can have on a local community.
I couldn't have chosen [The Medicine] better. I was hooked from the start, managed to read it in one go and thoroughly enjoyed it!
I found the cultural aspects of ['The Medicine'] to be particularly interesting because it really felt like I was being transported to a different country.
