How I found out about Martin's work
I first read about Martin back in 1998 in Katherine Ramsland's "Piercing the Darkness". Ironically just a few months later I found out he was doing a presentation at a local library, that was the first time I met him, October of 1999. A few years had passed, and I met him yet again at another one of his presentations. We have stayed in touch ever since.
