edit data

Murphy Daley has been writing stories, poems and essays since she was a child. Born Elizabeth Green in Anchorage, Alaska, she moved to California in her early 20s to finish college.

Never imagining that her ordinary life would be interesting to others, she submitted an essay to a writing contest there. She won the humorous essay award, and found her voice. Her stories drawn from life have entertained many since that time, developing a circle of fans.

She lives with her family in the foothills of Los Angeles county and is always working on her next project.
