Martyn Ford is a journalist and author from Hampshire, England. His debut novel, The Imagination Box, was published by Faber and Faber in 2015 and became an award-winning trilogy for middle-grade readers. The series follows ten-year-old Timothy Hart and a talking finger monkey named Phil through adventures involving a device that can make imagined things real.

Ford later shifted to writing for adults. Chester Parsons is Not a Gorilla, a standalone children’s book, appeared in 2019, but his subsequent novels have all been adult thrillers published through Amazon’s Thomas and Mercer imprint. Every Missing Thing, All Our Darkest Secrets, and Any One of Us each deal with missing persons, hidden secrets, and suspenseful plotlines that keep readers guessing. Ford is represented by Clare Wallace at the Darley Anderson Literary Agency.
