Margot Tohn

Margot Tohn makes her delightful debut with Murray Goes to the Playground, inspired by her oversized Sheepadoodle and daily walking companion, Murray. A joyful explorer of careers and city streets, Margot has worn many hats—Olympic sponsorship wrangler, fraud examiner, garage guide publisher (yes, she visited all 1,100 NYC garages three times), and small business whisperer. Her superpower? Reinvention with a wink. She holds degrees from Cornell University and the Australian Graduate School of Management, and splits her time between New York City and Saratoga Springs, where she and Murray are local legends on treat-fueled strolls. When not writing or chasing squirrels (Murray, not Margot), she’s hosting dinner parties, playing tennis, or soaking up theatre and books. Murray Goes to the Playground is a love letter to curiosity, companionship, and the joy of everyday adventures.
