This immersive, multi-genre writer does not shy away from diversity of thought but rather embraces the creative challenge it sets forth. Included in Murphy's portfolio is her multi-genre work of fiction, 'Speaking Of'; a novel – 'The Emerald Diaries-Secrets of an Irish Clan'; Sweet Peas and Bees - the first in a flower farm children's series; and a children's fairy book trilogy, 'Away with the Fairies.' All children's books include audio. Whistler Book Awards said of Mary's writing, "Mary Murphy must be applauded for her absolute commitment...she brings skill and talents as a storyteller...and writes in an imaginative, lyrical style that is both poetic and evocative."
Mary is also a prolific songwriter/musician/singer with ten full-length CDs. She has added her voice and whistles to countless artistic projects (including a feature film), has been a touring artist for many years, and is co-owner of Dove Creek Recording Studios. All of Mary's books are currently available worldwide.
Mary's free writing series, The Gift of Words, was released in mid-March 2024 on Mary's YouTube channel for those wishing to delve into the writing process or those looking for fresh ideas. This series offers tips, tricks, and perspectives that can be applied to any genre of writing.
Her releases have been hailed as "superlative and engrossing" by reviewers, readers, and listeners. Ms Murphy, born in Wexford, Ireland, is the mother of two grown children and currently lives on Vancouver Island, Canada, with her husband Paul, a dog named Norah and a cat named Turtle. www.marymurphy.ca YouTube @marymurphycreates
