Hi, I'm Derek Muphy. I've been a book designer for almost a decade, working behind the scenes with hundreds authors to make their books more successful. I'm also working on my PhD in Literature. But instead of writing my thesis, I've started writing YA novels.

If you like mermaids, vampires, angels, zombies, revolution, Faustian motifs (the dangers of technology) and post-apocalyptic settings and scenarios, you may enjoy my books… if you sign up on my email list, you'll get most of my writing for free.

I also design book covers:

And do some book editing:

PS) Next year I'm planning to rent a castle for Nanowrimo. Want to come?
