Jan Murphy

Jan Murphy, author of The Galleries Series, was born in Canada and raised in the U.S. From a young age she had an active imagination, creating stories and dabbling in all forms of art.

She is currently working of the second book in The Galleries series, The Art of Escape.

When she’s not writing she paints. Watercolor is her favorite medium. Which is why her characters find themselves dabbling in the art world and solving murder mysteries.

She loves a strong cup of tea, hockey games and party planning. Her husband is the perfect cup of tea. Together, they live in Southern California with their rambunctious pup.
