Author Biography
Martin van Houwelingen is a high functioning PDD-NOS Autist, born in 1970 in Halfweg (NH), the Netherlands, lives in Amsterdam with his wife Wendy and two cats, and spends his life following the his passions of writing, drawing, photography and video/audio recording. Martin has written stories for collective series and in magazines under various pseudonyms to stay in anonymity, solemnly believing that an artist should never enter the spotlight as mixing art with money only results in lesser quality to get paid. The problem with this is that when not being named, fans will search high and low for more but will never find it in the multitude of text that is out there. And so with a heavy heart he stepped into the limelight to show people who he really is and to leave his mark for the future generation of writers, while sticking to his convictions as an artist and a writer. 'Following a life of passions is not something everyone is cut out to do. It means sleepless nights, constant distractions and mood swings, all while trying to make rent and have enough left to eat. But if you are like me, with stories bursting in your mind and you only can be truly happy when you are creating something that wasn't there before, then I say Go. Go, do, and come back when you have finished, go follow that dream to where ever it may lead.'
