Hazel Mary Martell – author of historical romances and sagas set in Yorkshire. These include The Dreamchasers, Cloughfold, The Romany and The Bradleys of Brookroyd.

Hello – and welcome to my website.

Although most of my books have been published under my full name of Hazel Mary Martell, most people just call me Hazel and I hope you’ll do the same if ever you meet me or get in touch for any reason.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been involved in reading, writing and telling stories, the first of which was published in 1971 when I was working as a librarian. In the late 1970s I had three historical romances published, then moved on to an unexpected new career, writing information books for children. These were mostly on history and archaeology and have been sold all around the world. From 1992 to 2002 I was also editor for the Northern Mine Research Society publications. This taught me a lot about book-design, type-setting and publishing – all of which was a great help when I decided to set up Thorn Tree Publishing in the autumn of 2006.

Please read on to find out more about me and my published books – and visit www.thorntreepublishing.co.uk to read excerpts from The Dreamchasers and two more Yorkshire Romances that I am currently working on.
