Creativity and Writing - The Path to Becoming a Fiction Writer with author, Lorraine Murphy.
“If you love a twisting story that will almost leave you breathless, just read it”. So says one of the reviews of Lorraine Murphy’s new psychological thriller: ‘Into the Woods’. Describing writing as similar to “being in a playground with your thoughts”, in this episode, author, Lorraine Murphy guides us through the creative process of writing. Lorraine writes about everyday situations, often twisting them into terrifying tales. She is the author of ‘Into the Woods’, a psychological fiction novel, coming out in September 2022 and published by Inkubator Books. She has written numerous published, and winning, flash fiction stories, and is currently working on her second novel with Inkubator Books. https://inkubatorbooks.com/blog/2022/07/25/into-the-woods/?fbclid=IwAR2wiWw7jlLGWY4GN2wNVZDAB38AJZLHn-bwQON-m U_tPPxeLqyYlcBgemI
A software engineer by profession, Lorraine has had many careers including slimming club leader, adult educator, charity co-founder, chairperson, activist and entrepreneur. As a teenager, she adored Stephen King and later found herself on the jury of an infamous murder trial.
Lorraine is an accomplished Toastmaster, having reached District 71 (Ireland and UK) table topics semi-finals in 2020, taken second place in Division 9 Humorous speech and table topic competitions in 2022 and having retained the Mullingar club table topics trophy for three years in a row. She is the incoming President of Mullingar Toastmasters. During this discussion we frequently draw comparisons between the writing and public speaking process, especially in terms of craft and crafting a speech, a story, a book.
Lorraine lives in Westmeath, Ireland with her husband Brendan and three taller children. ‘Into the Woods’ will be available to buy on Amazon.com from August 21st. To get your hands on Lorraine’s “fast moving, engaging and thrilling” book, keep an eye on Lorraine’s website and Amazon. August 21st is the date! Have a listen to our chat to find out more about Lorraine’s ‘in-person’ book launch on October 01st in Annebrook Hotel in Mullingar.
