Avatar of Todd Martin
I published a book of short stories called "Nightmare Tales" back in 2006 and recently published a horror novel that I co-wrote with my wife Trish called "The Gardener." I have had several short stories published in a number of collections and wrote the segment "Angel" for the 2004 film "Tales from the Grave 2: Happy Holidays!" I am a huge horror fan and love slasher flicks from the 80's. I have acted both on stage and in a few movies as well. My wife and I both have parts in Tim Ritter's new film "Truth or Dare 4: Deadly Dares." I also write reviews for horror movies and novels at Horrornews.net, so swing by the site some time and check out my reviews! Hope you guys dig my stuff I post on here!... more about this author
