Michael Murphy uses his life experiences to tell great stories. His lifetime of living on the West Coast and having a wonderful brother, combined with his desire to tell a story, led to the writing of Kane's Guest Book and Yakutian Magic. His love for reading and travel fuels his writing, which builds on themes of learning to accept and overcome difficult challenges in life, and characters coming into their own.
When not writing, Murphy enjoys cycling, walking, and spending time in the outdoors. He lives in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, with his beautiful wife of forty years.
