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 third book of the Dragon World trilogy due to be published hopefully summer 2013. And a new series featuring, Grace Doyle, a necromancer who, ready or not, is having her eyes opened to a whole new take on life and death.

    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.

    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.

    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.
