In his spare time, Martin enjoys hiking, mountain climbing, kayaking, rafting, scuba diving, fitness training, golf, and the great outdoors.



Kristen Hamilton – Senior Editor

Kristen was the girl who, in grade school, would read instead of play at recess. She was soon reading five books a week. Obviously, she has had a passion for words her entire life.

After earning a degree in English and writing at Boise State University, Kristen pursued a career in freelance writing and book editing, and now works with clients across the globe at her business, Kristen Corrects, Inc. (www.KristenCorrects.com). Several authors whose books she has edited have won awards and have topped Amazon’s best sellers list.

Kristen is included in the 2014 Guide to Self-Publishing and the 2015 Guide to Self-Publishing, both published by the prestigious Writer’s Digest. She is also part of the credible Writer’s Market and Editorial Freelancer’s Association.

Reading is Kristen’s passion, so when the workday is over, she can usually be found curled up with a good book (alongside her three cats, Sophie, Charlie, and Jack). She loves pizza, cat videos, watching The Bachelor, and traveling, and is likely planning her next vacation. She lives outside of Boise, Idaho.
