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.

Whatever the reason, this is me. Enjoy.



MJD at a Glance

I'm 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 I'm not producing an industrial quantity of typos I am  a martial artist and historical fencer, and I'm 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. Here you will find Introductions, overviews explanations,  things I think you should buy and how you can go about getting me to do stuff for you and a miscellany of fiction and non-fiction pieces I've published.
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.
Conventions and Other Events: A section devoted to my misdeeds and misadventures on the convention circuit.
A Blog, Of Sorts: This is where I rant, vent and generally say stuff about, well, things.
