Author Biography

Martin Cox has taught at primary level for over 20 years but is still surprised when he meets people he taught that long ago who introduce him to their children! He loves being in the classroom and taking assemblies. His favourite subjects at school are English, Music and RE and his books usually have a strong link between those subjects. His first book was a retelling of the Christmas story from Mary's viewpoint, called A Busy Time for Angels. Martin has been going to church since he was able to walk there and can't remember a time when God was not part of his journey. Life's certainly never been dull and usually challenging when God gets involved. He even met his wife at church when they were both in the same music group. He trains and conducts an adult choir who perform in the Oxford area. Martin writes songs because they keep popping into his head! He has had songs and carols published. He plays the piano and different sizes of recorder.
