Pat Murphy Books Overview

Nadya

Growing up on the edge of Missouri wilderness in the 1830s, Nadya knew she was not like other girls. But when she became a woman and the change came, she discovered just how different she was. For Nadya was a shapechanger, a werewolf like her mother and father before her…

The Shadow Hunter

On a moonlit night 30,000 years ago, a young Neanderthal boy dreamed a true dream. In his dream, the spirit of the cave bear commands the boy to follow her. He brings the spiritual beliefs of his people to this alien world, while maintaining a connection with the earth and with the spirits of animals. The clash of prehistoric shamanic traditions with future technology makes for a gripping tale the first novel written by this Nebula Award winning author. This riveting tale is an updated version of the author’s first published novel, and reflects current technology changes in the world since its original publication in 1982.

There and Back Again

Bailey was heading home in his steam powered rocket when he found a message pod. It was only by luck that he spotted it, disabled and drifting in an eccentric orbit around a large M type asteroid. Strange to find a message pod so far from interstellar trade routes, drifting through the Asteroid Belt around Old Sol. Bailey picked up the message pod, and notified its owners that he had it. And that was the beginning of the adventure. The next thing he knew, the legendary Gitana, adventurer extraordinaire, was arriving at Bailey’s asteroid home, and then he was on a starship, heading for the center of the galaxy!

The Wild Angel

In the heart of the California gold country, three year old Sarah McKensie is orphaned by a stagecoach robber and adopted and nursed by a she wolf in this playful homage to the American tall tale. As she matures, Sarah learns to assist her pack by contributing human tools to the hunt, and eventually, interacting with human travelers. With her best friend and pack sister Beka at her side, Sarah becomes a local legend: The Wild Angel of the Sierras, rescuer of imperiled travelers. Her altruism is motivated by curiosity and bafflement by the settlers’ inability to perceive the world around them, as well as a passion for biscuits. A kaleidoscopic cast colors her adventures, including a brief cameo by Samuel Clemens, and of course, two hiss worthy villains: one human, one lupine.

Adventures in Time and Space with Max Merriwell

Cruise into murder, mayhem, and alternate realities. Award winning author Pat Murphy takes us aboard a luxury cruise ship and into the strange confluence of time and space known as the Bermuda Triangle, in an engaging science fiction romp that recalls the work of Kate Wilhelm. Susan Galina and her friend Pat have escaped their normal lives into the elegant, isolated world of the Odyssey, a luxury cruise ship heading from NY to Europe via Bermuda. Pat is working on her doctoral thesis in quantum physics, and Susan is recovering from a recent and unhappy divorce. To Susan’s delight, she discovers that her favorite author, Max Merriwell, is also aboard ship, teaching writers’ workshop. Susan’s life becomes even more interesting when she meets Tom Clayton, the handsome chief of security. This cruise looks very promising indeed. But the pleasant shipboard vacation turns dark as the Odyssey pas*ses into the Bermuda Triangle. Each year, Max Merriwell writes three novels: a science fiction novel under his own name, a fantasy novel under the pseudonym Mary Maxwell, and a mystery novel under the pseudonym Weldon Merrimax. The trouble begins when Max receives a threatening note that appears to come from Weldon Merrimax, Max’s own pseudonym. Susan hears wolves howling in the night, the ship’s passengers are seized with a dancing mania, and monsters lurk in the ship’s corridors. An eyewitness reports a murder but the victim of the crime is not on the passenger list and the body is nowhere to be found. While others struggle to understand these strange events, Pat seeks the explanation in quantum theory. Out of these elements, Murphy builds a suspenseful, funny, fast paced novel of shifting and intersecting realities that is a joy to read.

The Wild Girls

It is the early 1970s. Twelve year old Joan is sure that she is going to be miserable when her family moves from Connecticut to California. Then she meets a most unusual girl. Sarah prefers to be called ‘Fox,’ and lives with her author dad in a rundown house in the middle of the woods. The two girls start writing their own stories together, and when one wins first place in a student contest, they find themselves recruited for a summer writing class taught by the equally unusual Verla Volante. The Wild Girls is about friendship, the power of story, and how coming of age means finding your own answers rather than simply taking adults on faith.
