Martin J Dougherty:
Writer, Swordsman and General Nuisance

Picture
You have successfully located, stumbled upon or somehow been ambushed by the homepage of Martin J Dougherty, or MJD. (Yes, *that* MJD).

There are few good reasons for being here, but they might include: my books, my television work, my defence & security work, an interest in martial arts, self defence or fencing, or something else entirely. Or maybe we met some time.

The photo at left was taken just after the smallsword/duelling sabre tournament at Spring Exchange a couple of years back. Facial hair comes and goes; the disapproving stare is pretty much constant.

Anyway, this is me. Enjoy.



MJD at a Glance

I am a prolific published author, with literally dozens of books to my name, and writing is my day job. I write fiction and non-fiction books and for television as well as various materials in other media. When not producing an industrial quantity of typos I am  a martial artist and historical fencer, and I am also very fond of single malt scotch whisky.

The site is subdivided into various sections that made sense at the time. Essentially this comes down to:

Home: That's this page. In this section you will find an introduction, overview of my publishing credits and information on how to contact me.
My Work: There's quite a lot of this. Much of it covers books and other materials I've writtten for mainstream publishing. Other sections cover the games industry, copywriting and various other endeavours involving me being given some form of currency in return for words.
Martial Arts and Fencing: This section covers my career as a martial artist and fencer along with various thoughts on related subjects.
General Life Stuff: Stuff, of a general nature, about my life. But you probably figured that already.
Other: This is a bit of a rummage bin, containing all manner of stuff that does not fit elsewhere.
