Joshua Martin

Joshua D. Martin, callsign Redplicant, is an author and lyricist who loves action-horror and retrofuturism. He’s a contributing writer at Fansided’s Winter is Coming, where he posts book and media articles. Joshua earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Full Sail University, learning all things entertainment, and served as a Club Officer, hosting workshops with peers. A lover of the macabre, he’s been called morbid and always assumed to be in a state of melancholy. Though true, he finds comfort in conjuring adventures through his storycraft to evoke rare emotions we long for. Joshua’s weird fiction was also published in Black Sheep: Unique Tales of Terror and Wonder. He continues to write short stories and novellas about his several shared worlds, ranging from retrowave cyberpunk to heroic grimdark fantasy. When not ruining his characters’ lives, he’s playing roleplay games, watching anime, or lifting weights so he can slay eldritch hordes.
