Mary Murphy is a touchstone to the ancient land of Ireland. Her authenticity takes first generation immigrants home again, gifts those with Irish roots a taste of inheritance, and ushers those who wish they were a wee bit Irish into an ephemeral union.
Her creative fire is billowed by both a literary and musical wind.
NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE: A sparkly new edition of Mary's beloved first novel, The Emerald Diaries - Secrets of an Irish Clan.
Originally published in 2009, this fully re-edited, re-imagined and re-designed edition was recently made a finalist by the International Page Turner Awards for both their book award and book cover award.
The Emerald Diaries is an extraordinary tale that weaves together fantasy, fiction, mythology, and history by way of the characters within. Readers are taken on a fantastical journey; moving among time periods and locations through multiple points of view.
It is the women, their relationships and a specific matriarchal Irish heirloom that drives the narrative. This ancient heirloom is the thread that runs through the storyline, stitching together lives in across generations.
This novel is now a shiny new penny, waiting to be collected and dropped into your internal wishing well.
