C.A. “Chip” Martella has been creating stories his entire life. While most of those tales were told through his career in marketing, he never let his dream of writing a novel flicker out. After witnessing his beloved city of New York endure repeated tragedies and setbacks, he knew the time had come to tell the story he always wanted to. A story of hope, of friendship, of family. And a story shimmering with magic, the kind that New York has always had, still has, for those who are willing to look.

A resident of Manhattan for over 20 years, Chip lives in the shadow of the Flatiron Building with his wife and two children.
