About the Author

Mike Murphy grew up on a working cattle ranch outside of the small South Texas town of Refugio. At the age of twenty, he joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and for five years he participated in some of the largest rodeos in the country.
From there, he worked his way into oil exploration. Mike traveled to New York and took several courses in creative writing under the legendary Robert McKee. Later, he sold his interests in the oil business and moved to Austin, Texas, to follow his dream of writing.

His writing has been featured in national magazines such as Script, Creative Screenwriting, Fade In, and Variety.
Lizzie Fox, his debut novel, is adapted from another one of his screenplays that was previously optioned and developed in Hollywood. Mike resides and writes in Austin, where the music and BBQ are authentic, and the beer is ice cold.
