A new short story (technically a novelette, as it weighs in at 16K, which is longer than an official short story but not as long as an official novella :)) has dropped on Amazon Kindle & Kindle Unlimited!

Wintergate is set in the same world as my Beauty and the Beast retelling, ROSES IN AMBER, and is itself something of a retelling of The Snow Queen. It was inspired mostly by the pre-made cover ar

C.E. Murphy answered David Fournier's question: Hi Ms. Murphy, I very much enjoyed the Walker Papers, The Negotiator, and The Worldwalker series of books. I am currently wondering if/when the Worldwalker books will be made available on Audio books? Y'know, that's a good question. I'll see what I can do. There's a modest chance if I manage to sell 'em as audio books that I'll remember to let my newsletter know, so you might sign up for that for updates! tinyletter.com/ce_murphy :)

Quotes by C.E. Murphy

“In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you're really just fine. She asks if you're sure. You say of course you're sure, really, you don't need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don't need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, at that, so long as it's no trouble and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. Then you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting.

In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don't get any damned tea.

I liked the Irish way better.”
