Terry Murphy

Terry Murphy is a septuagenarian whose basic formal education has been enhanced over his ensuing years, including creative writing courses and the study of such works as Aspects of the Novel by E.M. Forster, Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott and other such advisory books for aspiring writers.

Short stories published in an anthology being his only print success; with this current offering being his first novel. His many years at the "school of life" have enabled him to build realistic characters based on the melding of many people who have crossed his path. A number of years in amateur and semi professional theatre have given him an insight to many types of characterizations. Likewise isolated situations that have occurred over many years have been woven into one adventure.

Terry is currently working on his second novel; a twist on an historical situation where mystery surrounds what may or may not have happened. (Think 'The Da Vinci Code'). Based on the premise that Adolf Hitler did not die in his bunker.

Terry has been a lifelong native of Sydney Australia and has been married for 46 years. As a retiree he now devotes himself to his children, grandchildren & writing.
