Maureen Murrish

Biography

I have been writing since my daughter, now a young woman, was very small as a way for me to unwind and entertain her. At least that was what I told myself at the time. Even now I mostly write fantasy for children and young adults in anything from short story to novel length.
I live at Durham, England, with a varying number of British Shorthair cats which I show and breed the occasional litter from. Any spare time when I am not working, writing or showing the cats I use in the garden which always seems to require far more attention than I can give it!
I am currently working on the second book of the Dragon World trilogy. The Missing Link ought be ready to publish before the end of the year.

Smashwords book reviews by Maureen Murrish

Eye of the Witch on Feb. 24, 2012

This book kept me involved right from the beginning. I felt for Tony and his struggle with the passing of time. I loved the ending and am looking forward to reading more. Great read.
Glamour (Rae Wilder #1) on Feb. 24, 2012

I enjoyed this book. The typos and awkward sentencing were a bit difficult at first but I soon got my ear for the flow of words and the story line was engaging and held my attention. I’m not into lovey dovey as a rule but the love triangle going on here was addictive and compelling.
The Value of Life on Feb. 24, 2012

This was a good read with satisfying twist in the tail. To my surprise I found my sympathies shifting as it unfolded and couldn’t help but engage with the kidnapper. I look forward to reading more.
