About the Author
​
Terri Martin has lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (the U.P.) for 26 years. She bases a lot of her books on the culture, characters, and natural beauty of the area. Top Horse is the third book in the Kat Wilde U.P. Mystery series, and continues the story of a determined Gen Zer, who juggles a struggling horse stable, a "pity" job, and a precarious romance with the local conservation officer. The second book in the series, Straw Horse, is the recipient of the U.P. Notable Book Award. 
Terri owned, showed, trained, boarded, and fox hunted with horses for many years. Her experience and love of horses, along with other critters is reflected in the Kat Wilde series. She also has three humorous anthologies (previously published in UP Magazine) a humorous novel, Moose Willow Mystery, and two middle-grade children's books.

​   Reviews of the Kat Wilde

U.P. Mystery Series

"I recommend Top Horse for its suspense-filled narrative, because of its heartwarming tale of love and and a questionable relationship, and its realistic and tenacious approach to solving mysteries....Martin delivers a blend of suspense, humor, romance, and mystery in this delightful story." -Sharon Brunner, U.P. Book Review

​

"Straw Horse is everything a great mystery is made of--loveable characters, mysterious strangers, a whack job or two, a little romance, some family secrets, and plenty of action. Kat Wilde handles horses, investigates murder and mayhem, and gets to know better the man in her life." - Tyler Tichelaar, PhD, award-winning author of The Mysteries of Marquette​

"I want to be Terri Martin's Kat Wilde in Gift Horse; the reluctant recipient of a run-down horse stable...Thrown by the discovery of a dead body in her barn, kat is determined to solve the mystery , aided and abetted by a host of endearingly wacky characters..."-Nancy Besonen, author of Off The Hook

​

"Kat Wilde, a Gen Z woman trying to find a life in the rugged wilderness of the U.P. stumbles onto an unlikely inheritance that reignites the fire of her forgotten youthful passion of horses." -Victor Volkman Marquette Monthly​
