Publication Order of Free Trader Books

Craig Martelle is a published author of fictional novels. He has written a variety of series, sometimes with co-authors. He is known for his Free Trader series among many others and often writes in the fantasy and sci-fi genres.

Craig was born in Iowa. As an adult, he would join the Marine Corps., serving for over two decades. He says that he views his other lives that include being in the Marines, being in law school, serving as a business consultant, like they’re stories in a book. With his books, he sees them as if he is living there and knew the characters and are friends. What we recall is behind us and what we imagine ahead of us.

The author tries to use his experience in the Marines and life to come up with characters that he thinks are believable that are set in a world that appears real to him and the reader. Craig wants to be able to write in-depth, complex characters that could be seen as more than just two-dimensional people on the page. He is inspired by the works written by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Anne McCaffrey, Robert E. Howard, and others. He says that any comparisons of his work to that of Andre Norton’s is humbling, as he sees her as being an ‘incredible’ author. Craig attempts to live up to the individuals that he is compared to by readers with every novel he writes.

Craig moved to Fairbanks, Alaska to live and retired to someplace that has a golf course that is open four months to the public. He likes living in Alaska along with his wife. The couple enjoys being out of the way and having the ability to witness nature all around them or check out the local northern lights. They share their home with their dog and he loves running around and being able to burn off energy. There’s little sunlight in the winter but plenty of it in the summer when it moves to being twenty-four hours per day. It can also get quite cold but the author says that if those extremes were not in place then everyone would want to live in the sub-arctic region.

The author has had his books nominated for awards and they have been best sellers all across the world. He cares about honor, loyalty and justice, among other themes, so that is what he chooses to write about. Craig sets stories within worlds that have not existed yet in history but could potentially still exist. He usually has carried a book around with him wherever he goes but now thanks to technology is able to have many books on his phone that he can always have with him. It also lets him read his favorite books in binge-reading sessions. He laments the amount of books that he could have been able to read while he was deployed thanks to being limited to a physical book instead of a phone or electronic device that can provide more than one book to read.
