Contributor Bio:  Martin, William William Martin has written seven novels, an award-winning PBS documentary, and a horror movie now considered a cult classic. He is best known, however, for his historical fiction, which has chronicled the history of Boston, New England, and the nation. His first novel, Back Bay, spent fourteen weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List. His subsequent novels, including Harvard Yard, Citizen Washington, Annapolis, and Cape Cod, have established him, in the words of Publishers Weekly, as a ?storyteller whose smoothness matches his ambition.? There are now more than three million copies of his books in print. Martin was the recipient of the 2005 New England Book Award, given by the New England Booksellers Association to an author whose ?body of work stands as a significant contribution to the culture of the region.?
