E. R. Murray lives in West Cork, where she fishes, grows her own vegetables and enjoys plenty of outdoor adventures. Her debut, The Book of Learning, is the first book in her Nine Lives Trilogy (Mercier Press).

Elizabeth loves travel, and has taught creative writing in schools around the world, including Cambodia. She believes everyone has good stories to tell.

While travelling, Elizabeth also parachuted out of an aeroplane, swam with sharks and stingrays, and ate lots of insects. At home, Elizabeth likes reading to her dog, Franklyn.

Discover Irish Kids Books

In case you haven’t heard, writer and champion of children’s books, Sarah Webb, has brought together a team of children’s book specialists to create the #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks campaign. The reason behind the campaign is that the Irish children’s top ten bestseller list rarely features ANY Irish books, even though Ireland is full of talented writers and illustrators.

The aim of Discover Irish Child

Margaret Atwood
“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.”
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Ray Bradbury
“Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.”
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

Ernest Hemingway
“When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.”
Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

William Faulkner
“It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.”
William Faulkner
