Murphy Gordon has already been a guest speaker at several very well known National Colonial American History society meetings and most recently, the author featured Emy Moon and Lucy Killgrew at the California Library Association and the California School Library Association. Coming up - the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books in April 2008 and the Book Expo America at the Los Angeles Convention Center in June 2008. There are also other scheduled speaking engagements planned throughout the winter and spring of 2008. To be embraced by such respectable organizations for this work has spurred a flood of bookings to hear the author speak of Emy Moon. In fact, the copies are flying off the shelf in such demand; Murphy Gordon is already in his 2nd printing. Historical societies, school libraries, book clubs, reading and literacy groups should be particularly aware of Emy Moon and Lucy Killgrew as both books are definitely something they will want in their catalog.

What people are saying:

“Murphy Gordon has brought Colonial American History into the present day beautifully and sensitively. The spirituality will captivate audiences of all ages. "Emy Moon" is particularly a must read for anyone who remembers the Hallmark Hall of Fame production "The Love Letter". In addition, you should make sure to block out enough time to read the entire book because you won’t want to put it down once you begin reading it." – Mary Grindall

"I am a teacher and thought this book might interest my students who like history. So far two students have read this book and they both really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this book since right now a third student of mine is currently reading it and I have three more lined up ready to read it." - B. Parkin

”This book is really great. I hate reading but this book – I just couldn’t put it down! Every time I had to do something I would not stop thinking of what would happen next. My sister thought I was sick when she saw me reading. After the first two chapters I had to stop reading for a few days, but when I continued I finished more than half the book that day. I am in the eighth grade and moving to the ninth. I just wanted to let the author know what a great job he has done and hope he write another great book like Emy Moon.” - Stephanie

Emy Moon is a beautifully written young adult novel that takes the reader on an amazing voyage of discovery. Guided by the spirit of a young colonial tomboy, a young girl from California will discover a lost ancestor she knew nothing about.

What could be a new American Classic, Emy Moon is sure to awaken the mind, create a new awareness and perhaps raise the level of Patriotic Pride.
