Martin VanWoudenberg was born in 1972, worked his way through school and university and found himself in the high-tech field. When the Internet became available to the general public he was with the first groups of people who began to create and design web sites. For over twelve years he has worked with a wide variety of small, medium and home-based businesses. Realtors, Financial Planners, Technology Companies, Non-Profits and numerous industries have relied on his knowledge and artistic style to present their companies online.

Passionate about literature and history, Martin returned to university in 2003 to pursue an English and History degree. Through support of faculty and fellow students, he has published his first collection of poetry, Naked Shall I Return. Response from readers and audiances at poetry readings has been overwhelmingly positive.

Married since 1995, Martin and Nicole have four fantastic children. A desire to instill a love for literature in younger readers has led to the creation of several children's books, currently being illustrated. Using his own young ones, and parenting experience as inspiration, his writing is sure to strike a cord with parents and children alike.

A desire to promote strong and lasting marriages has led to the one resource book that every man should have, How to Fake Romance (when your love is real). Here at last is a book that combines humour, practical information, and simple ways for men to keep the spark alive for both them and their wives.

Martin has also spent countless hours researching, training and writing for and about the Internet. His technology articles have appeared on different web sites and in local publications. His "Introduction to the Web" guide has served as a springboard for many small business people who wanted to learn to design themselves.

His new book "www.TortoiseKiller.com" is the fruit of all these years of experience. Combining humour and an easy-to-read novel style, this book removes the mystery and tech-speak from the Internet. Now anyone wanting to design a site, or have one designed, will be able to understand and talk intelligently about web design, email, online marketing and much more.
