Speaking Of —Splendid stories to cosy up with.
A lush landscape of humanity crossing time periods, genres, and settings real and imagined. This book celebrates a distinct and relatable writing style and offers emotion, wit and depth as one becomes a traveller, a companion to lives that have passed and those yet to be.
Each story stands alone, yet collectively this book offers a rich and cosy experience that you will not want to put down.
Gliding seamlessly over the threads of genre diversity, within these 314 pages, the reader will find one novella, one novelette, seven short stories, four flash fiction stories and three poems.

“This is a beautiful piece of writing.
It is observational, descriptive, thought provoking and fully realised. There is an intuitive mind at work and a subtle curiosity here that values the reader. It rewards them with a bouquet of delightful stories that beguile and charm with equal measure.” ~ John O’Regan, Journalist/Broadcaster/Lecturer RTE/LCCR – Eclectic Celt, Ireland
“Your writing – weaves into the gardens of fine Irish wordsmiths. Yer a talented wee divil, so keep ‘dippin the pen’ and dream up more yarns, more of your lush images – that have stirred memories and emotions.”
Will Millar (Founder of The Irish Rovers)
“Our book club devoured Mary Murphy’s first book, ‘The Emerald Diaries’, and we can’t wait to get our mitts on ‘Speaking Of’. Mary has a way of connecting with the reader on a deep level to the point where the characters jump to life, right off the page, to sit with us as the story unfolds. The room gets very crowded.”
Lori K, New York Book Club
