Address: Dublin & Waterford

Cork-born David Murphy has lived in north county Dublin (and in Waterford) for more than forty years. His most recent book is a debut poetry collection, Drowning in the Desert, published in May 2020 by Limerick’s Revival Press. Walking on Ripples, his first book to feature non-fiction, came out in 2014 from Dublin’s Liffey Press. His previous titles include the contemporary fantasy novella Bird of Prey (2011), Arkon Chronicles (also a novella, 2003) and the well received novel Longevity City (2005) each of which was published in the USA. His award-winning short fiction has been published and translated worldwide: over one hundred appearances including magazines and anthologies, two chapbooks (1995 and 1998) and a short story collection brought out first in Dublin in 2004 and since re-printed. The title story of that collection, Lost Notes, won the inaugural Maurice Walsh Award for short stories. His short fiction has also been short-listed for the Molly Keane and Aisling Gheal awards. His poetry is also prize-winning, viz Red Line Book Festival 2018. Source: Commons
