K M Murphy was born in 1980 in Stirling, Scotland, and was brought up in a small mining village.Her writing career began when she woke up one day and decided, “I’m going to write a book today.”Although kept busy with a part-time job in education, another in bridal retail, doing voluntary work and being a mum and wife, she feels like she has most definitely found a new passion in writing.Taking inspiration from her childhood and life experiences, she writes with a very down to earth and refreshingly honest tone.Her other great loves in life are her family and friends, singing and dancing, anything sparkly, Christmas time, flavoured gins and yankee candles.
