Hi,
Just a quick message to let you know that the title on my Amazon Author Page: "Random Acts of Poetry and other Attempts at Humour" has been wrongly assigned to my page...I did not write it.
Amazon have been notified and are working to rectify the problem.

Excited to be working on a new book. The story is set in nineteenth century Australia, and has involved plenty of research...which i actually quite enjoy.

With sales in North America, United Kingdom, Australia and Europe, the historical fiction novel, "Beneath The Willow" by Michael J Murphy has become a book with international acclaim.

Pleased to be included in blog site, Tall and Trues, top-five books of 2019. Review below.

"Beneath the Willow opens with a prologue set in rural NSW in 1953. It is a dark scene of fear and domestic violence. The novel then steps back in time and place to the working-class suburb of Balmain in 1915. Australia is at war in foreign lands and sons of families have answered her call to arms. Michael J Murphy had me invested emotionally in the lives of his characters and hopeful for their future. His is an outstanding debut novel and one which I highly recommend."

The Australian Reading Hour is on Thursday, 19 September.
Take one hour to relax and read, anywhere you like!

A big thank you to the Jugiong Writers Festival. A fantastic crowd and a great group of writers. Jugiong has made its niche in the literary circuit, and will continue to grow around its enthusiastic committee.

Looking forward to being a part of the Jugiong Writers Festival on Saturday, March 23.

Thank you to everyone who attended my book launch and to all those who have supported me by purchasing Beneath the Willow. I enjoyed signing copies of my book and getting the chance to talk about it. A real thrill.
It was great to have author Gary McKay say a few words.
