Charles EP Murphy started writing and nobody’s made him stop yet. Living in Britain with a comic collection that threatens to collapse and form a black hole, he has both self-published and written short stories & novellas for various indie presses including Sea Lion Press, Sergeant Frosty Publications, Ghost Orchid, and FutureQuake. He has predominantly written in the alternative history subgenre, which serves as an unholy union of his interests in history, politics, and deep-cut comics continuity trivia.
