Welcome to my story page, where the heroic past meets the absurdist future
I’m Martin J Bird, and I write stories for readers who love a good twist, a bold adventure, and characters who stay with you long after the final page.
From metaphysical sci‑fi — where cosmic bureaucracy, digital afterlives, and impossible choices collide — to deeply researched historical fiction set in tenth‑century Ireland, where Norse‑Celtic families and rising kings navigate the turbulent ascent of Brian Boru.
If you enjoy character‑driven tales and worlds that feel alive, you’re in the right place.
