Victoria Martinez

Victoria (Tori) V. Martínez researches and writes about history, both from her current home in Texas and on her frequent trips abroad with her husband David. Tori, an American, likes to joke that she only married David, a Spaniard she met in England, because his knowledge of seven languages helps her immensely in her historical research.

Tori works as a freelance public relations professional, which allows her to travel, research and write. She earned her undergraduate degree in Mass Communications from Texas Woman's University and her graduate degree in Applied Technology, Training and Development from The University of North Texas. After working in the corporate world for several years, Tori realized her passion for writing about history was what made her happy, so she packed up her life in America and spent two years living abroad.

Although fate currently has her living back to the U.S., she spends as much time as possible writing, researching and traveling. Her historical writing has been published online at sites like the Unofficial Royalty website and Time Travel-Britain.com, and in print journals such as The European Royal History Journal, Royalty Digest Quarterly and The Duke and Duchess of Windsor Society Quarterly. She also served as a historical consultant for the BBC Radio 4 Saturday Play, “The Windsor Jewels,” a subject she has written about extensively.
