Taken from the complete story collection IN A NORTHERN TOWN, MERELY AN ILLUSION tells the tale of a reclusive author in northern Michigan who spontaneously, and rather mysteriously, grants an unknown journalist the first interview since her lone bestselling novel was published more than twenty years ago.
Ed A. Murray is an author, ghostwriter and University of Michigan alumnus. Autumn in Wolf Valley (2025) is his fourth book, all of which are set at least partially in his home state of Michigan, where he lives with his wife, two daughters and their mini Australian shepherd.
