Juan MartÃnez, writer and motivational speaker, was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and currently resides in New York City. His literary voice emerges from a rich blend of diverse experiences, social sensitivity, and a deep passion for human growth. With a background in Business Administration and a specialization in Hotel Management, he has traveled to several countries in Central Europe-journeys that broadened his worldview and nurtured the blossoming of his narrative vocation. J. Mart. has developed a unique storytelling style that seamlessly blends first- and third-person perspectives, integrating the author's voice with that of his characters. His writing weaves together fiction, romance, and reality to create stories that not only move the soul but also invite readers to reflect, transform, and embrace a new philosophy of life. His works include Anatomy of the Great Sacrifice (a masterful investigation into the death of Jesus Christ), The Tenderest Gaze (a poem), and Parada 145.
In 2022, he released his novel The Past of a continuous Present, a work that marked his literary debut and has been recognized for its inspiring message and masterful plot. This same work is republished in 2025 by USA Writers and Publishers under the title The Past of a Living Present. In addition to his career as a writer, Juan has delivered motivational conferences at various educational and cultural institutions in New York and the Dominican Republic, sharing a message of inspiration, resilience, and personal growth. With every book and every word, Juan MartÃnez does more than tell stories-he builds bridges between the reader and their best self.
