About Michael Murphy

Originally from rural upstate New York Michael Murphy grew up walking through fields of corn taller than most people riding horses and driving on dirt roads. For more than thirty years he has lived in Washington DC where there aren't many dirt roads or horses.His biggest influences when growing up were his two grandmothers. Both were ferociously strong women who were widowed young while they still had children at home. Neither remarried but they picked up the shattered pieces of their lives and built new lives for themselves. They taught him that the underdog could come out on top if he or she just tried.Those women loved to read and to tell stories so it just always seemed a natural thing for him to want to do the same. When he hit a major milestone birthday he realized that there were fewer years left in which to do things than there had already been. He made a bucket list which had writing a book at the top of the list. With his twentieth book now in the editorial production process that dream has been realized and has been one of the highlights of his life.Visit his website at www.gayromancewriter.com to learn more about him and his writing.
