Martin A W Holmes lives on the very brink of Derbyshire and worked for a long time as a graphic artist before finding himself with rather a lot of time on his hands in his mid-fifties. Since then he has been writing, drawing, and recording, mostly because he happens to share his life with someone rather wonderful who has been very supportive of what he still thinks of as his silly creative nonsenses. His life crossed paths with that of Lisa and Andrew in 2017, and with their encouragement, he has become something of a prolific podcaster. As well as making contributions to their ROUND THE ARCHIVES podcast, he has also worked on a number of other podcasts including AN A TO Z OF UK TV DRAMA, SPACE SOLDIERS: A FLASH GORDON COMMENTARY PODCAST, THE SHY LIFE, and THE CINEMATIC SAUSAGE. Alongside producing new artwork and books, he currently also produces and presents VISION ON SOUND for FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL, a digital radio station based in Manchester. With the encouragement of a space ape named Gruntleigh (who he has still never actually met), he has published some of their daily online exchanges into book form, and has since been inspired by him to start writing books in the style of the classic 1970s Target books that tell the cold, uncaring universe about his adventures.
