About the author

CE Murphy began writing around age six, when she submitted three poems to a school publication. The teacher producing the magazine selected (inevitably) the one she thought was by far the worst, but also told her–a six year old kid–to keep writing, which she has. She has also held the usual grab-bag of jobs usually seen in an authorial biography, including public library volunteer (at ages 9 and 10; it’s clear she was doomed to a career involving books), archival assistant, cannery worker, and web designer. Writing books is better.

She was born and raised in Alaska, and now lives with her family in her ancestral homeland of Ireland.

She also writes paranormal romance as Murphy Lawless and cozy mysteries as Catie Murphy.

I forgot how entertaining this world is. This is the first time Gary and Joanne met and it's told from his POV. Of course, he thinks she's crazy: the woman jumped into his cab and made him drive to a place where she saw someone being chased - from a plane.

I found the jem on the author's website. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I loved it.

It's Gary's point of view of the first chapter of Urban Sharman. It's great to see the same story from a different point of view, especially when the main character who sounds 'sort of' sane in the original book can come off really off the mark from the outside view.

I love how Gary observes his 'fare' and starts to care about her. Great addition to the Walker Paper series!

If you've already read the book, this is a wonderful revisit of the first chapter. Not as good as Jo's POV, but still good.

First 2 chapters of ‘Urban Shaman’ from Gary the cabby’s POV. Only goes to when they open the tomb. Mostly just the original dialog with very little added stuff.

This is Harry's take on meeting Joanne for the first time. It starts as she gets off the plane and gets in his cab. Read his point of view. Hi

Read this one after Mountain Echoes and it was okay. Nothing got spoiled and I loved falling in love with Garrison all over again. Even Cernunnos to a point. Got it read in three days because I just had to find out what happened next. Or before. Or that other time.

Anyway! Loved it. I'll love reading it again while I wait for the next and last (really? last?) in this series. Love. Love. Love. Did I mention I love it?

4.5 stars
A favorite story from the perspective of a favorite (adored, beloved) character.
