About Martina

The No. 1 Bestseller

Martina Cole is the No. 1 bestselling author of nineteen hugely successful novels. Her most recent, THE LIFE, was her tenth consecutive No. 1 bestseller. The Take and The Runaway were adapted for Sky One with remarkable reviews and Two Women and The Graft have been adapted for the stage; both were highly acclaimed when performed at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, which also staged Dangerous Lady in 2012 – celebrating twenty years since Martina’s debut novel was published.

Martina Cole is a phenomenon. Her hard-hitting, uncompromising and haunting writing makes for an incredible read, and sales of her books now stand at over ten million copies. She is the person who dares to tell it like it really is.
