Emily Murdoch

Emily Murdoch

Is a writer, a poet, and a lover of books. There's never been a time in her life that she's been without a book.

When she's not reading or writing, she's caring for her horses, dogs and family. Living on a little ranch in rural Arizona, the tranquil beauty, rich wildlife and happy solitude of desert days often enter into her poetry and writing. 

An excerpt from her first novel, The Bumblebee Project, placed as a Finalist in the Glimmer Train Press Fiction Open. Her second novel, Brave New Girl, is the first book in an offbeat young adult series. She's presently in the midst of finishing two more YA novels and preparing for her second NaNoWriMo.                

Emily's other passion is saving equines from slaughter. She uses her writing to raise awareness of this inhumane practice, with the goal of ending the slaughter of America's equines through transport to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico. She gives sanctuary to abused and slaughter-bound equines that dazzle her every day with their forgiving nature and gratitude in exchange for security, consistency, food and love.   

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Emily Murdoch hopes her penchant for writing will do just that.

All-in-all, she's a lefty in a right-handed world, writing her way through life and smearing ink wherever she writes.
