About the Author

Mike Murphy wrote his first short story at the age of 17, was published for the first time when he was 22 and is still writing at the age of 80. In this anthology he has brought together a selection from the profusion of stories he has written, with an introduction to each story revealing when and how it came about. Spanning a lifetime from the 1940s to the 2020's, this is a unique and remarkable insight into the ideas and inspirations that fueled the creative life of a prolific and varied writer. It is also a good read.
