As a conservationist, Martin’s efforts are rooted in a commitment to preserving wildlife and ecosystems, particularly focusing on the protection of badgers, which is evident in his widely acclaimed The Badgers of Bunger Hill series. These works not only entertain but also educate readers about the importance of nature conservation, drawing from his real-world experience with Hastings Badger Protection Ltd. where he actively contributes to wildlife preservation and awareness. Through his books, conservation efforts, and advocacy, Martin remains committed to breaking barriers, fostering understanding, and creating a legacy of positive change. His work stands as a testament to the power of courage, innovation, and a relentless drive to leave the world better than he found it.

Martin’s upbringing as a child was more than perfect, set in a time when life seemed simpler and opportunities were abundant in the country. His father, who had previously served in the Military Police, was a guiding and instructive figure in his life. The discipline, integrity, and values instilled during his father’s military service became foundational principles that shaped Martin’s character.

Growing up, Martin’s mother played an instrumental role in shaping his values and character. From her, he learned the importance of structure, responsibility, and respect for others—principles that became the foundation of his life’s work. Her emphasis on discipline instilled in Martin a strong sense of justice, while her unwavering support and nurturing environment allowed his natural creativity to flourish. Whether through quiet encouragement or leading by example, she taught him to persevere, appreciate nature’s beauty, and remain committed to making a positive impact on the world around him. These early lessons profoundly influenced his journey as an author, conservationist, and advocate.

Martin Does own Object with:

Crown at the Top likely signifies nobility, royalty, or high status. Three-Sided Object Below the Crown → Could be a shield, escutcheon, or an emblem. If it’s triangular, it might be a device or banner. Two Shields are often found in family crests, especially those of marriages or alliances between noble houses. Falcon with Hood (Bottom).  Smaller, Simple Crown Above the Falcon.  This could indicate a lower-tier nobility or a specific knightly order. In heraldry, birds under a crown often symbolize loyalty to the ruling monarch. Why Three Symbols = Baron? In European heraldry, particularly in England, France, and Spain, barons often had: Three charges (symbols) on the shield → Representing power, land, or lineage. A coronet with pearls or simple curved arches. The smaller crown you described fits this. Falcons were common in noble heraldry, representing hunting rights, power, and nobility. Baronial items were used in sealing letters, contracts, and decrees. If it’s a falcon, that could link it to: Medieval England (Norman period and later). France (Falcons appear in noble crests of the 12th–17th century). Holy Roman Empire or Spain * Does the crown have pearls or arches, or is it more like a plain band with points?

This balance between a strong moral compass and an idyllic upbringing would serve as the bedrock for Martin’s future endeavours, enabling him to challenge injustices and inspire positive change in both the natural world and the systems that govern society. Finishing his studies, Martin’s first job was in IT at a publisher specializing in legal documents. This role provided him with a broad understanding of legal terms and their application within complex legal frameworks. The experience proved invaluable in later life, equipping him with the knowledge to navigate intricate legal systems and processes.

The enormous scandal was bigger than every government scandal that came before it covered three continents. This foundation became especially significant during a deeply challenging period when Martin’s partner lost her children in a scandal that spanned three continents. The ordeal exposed Martin to the harsh realities of legal and judicial systems across borders, further fueling his determination to challenge injustices and advocate for reform. His daughter, Emily Cathryn, was effectively abandoned by the government, its institutions, agencies, and social services, a situation that inspired the renowned series The Stealing of Emily. Lodged with SFO 5e118dc08da84da and c98c91180d570dc and REF20147 with no investigation being provided.

Many Books/ Audio / Film and Musical Scripts music in this series chronicle the systemic failures encountered, including a shocking moment when a social worker advised him over the telephone to file a missing person’s report for his own child. The situation has been likened to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, reflecting the profound neglect and lack of accountability at the heart of this tragedy. This pivotal experience not only shaped Martin’s resolve but also deeply influenced his work as an author and advocate, inspiring him to expose the hidden mechanisms of power, address the flaws within legal systems, and fight for the rights of children and families. His personal journey through such complex and painful circumstances.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve completed my very first drama script, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. This has been a labor of love, and I’m hopeful for some positive feedback as I take this new creative step.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey—your encouragement means the world. Here’s to new beginnings in storytelling and drama!
