Stephen Hawley Martin (Steve) is a best-selling author and writer of many books, including ones that examine the evidence of life after death, a fascination of his. Among his books are "Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die," "Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die," "ESP: How I Developed My Sixth Sense and So Can You," among others on this type of inexplicable phenomena. While Steve had owned an advertising agency and has written best-selling books, both fiction and non-fiction, on many other topics such as novels and business management books, afterlife evidence has always been a main topic of curiosity for him. Raised in a science-minded materialist family, he was astounded when had an OBE (Out of Body Experience,) possibly an NDE (Near Death Experience) one night when he was twenty-five. This experience, along with some books he discovered around this time opened up a whole new world to him. He also hosted a podcast in the early days of podcasting, where he talked with people such as Dr. Jim Tucker and Dr Julie Beischel. His books discuss the same people - serious science-minded afterlife researchers from places such as DOPS - Division of Perceptual Studies at University of Virginia.
