My name is Martin Galba. I'm originally from Slovakia and I immigrated to Canada over 2 decades ago. I currently reside in Sherwood Park, Alberta with my amazing wife Stephanie, daughter Cassidy (Zonks) and three retired greyhounds Wacky, Slider and Cash.

My story telling journey began at a very young age. I think I was about four or so. I would learn short poems and recite them to anyone who would listen. This natural ability to capture the attention of an audience through my art evolved into a life on the stage - primarily as an actor and a singer in musicals and operas, but also as a stage director, choreographed and producer. I never thought I would have the drive to explore other avenues - such as writing. Being that English is not my first language, writing a novel was far from anything I thought I would do when I first stepped foot on the Canadian soil - barely speaking the language itself. But, here I am, two decades later sharing the story of Zonks with the world.
