We can't believe all of the thoughtful emails we have received from so many people who have read The Running Waves! We are thankful and truly humbled. We wanted to create something real that might not always be pretty but always truthful and in the end would entertain and maybe even teach a few lessons in life. One being - Enjoy what you are!

So, to those people who have sent us emails and Facebook messages and all of the other readers who have enjoyed the book we thank you. But we still do need your help. We hope if reading The Running Waves was a positive experience you will write a quick or even long review. Good reviews from readers is what is going to help our little book become known nationwide. We have an amazing publisher who has believed in us, but the reality is she and we don't have big money marketing campaigns, but after reading those emails and messages we realized we might not need them. Yes, right now, we are "the little engine that could", but we know the power of our readers' words will get us over that mountain!

Thank You,
Ted and Seton

I'm not sure who wrote what in this remarkable story and I would like to keep it that way because you two brothers worked together so well to craft this emotionally driven tale that it appears as though you were writing with one heart and one soul. You had me hooked from page one. I found myself with more emotion invested in Colin Brennan than I possibly ever had in Holden Caulfield. And, if you know me, that is saying quite a lot. Below, I've included what I consider perhaps the most heart warming literary excerpt I've read to date:

The day of the accident, even though he knew it was futile, he drove Colin around town searching for the boys. "They haven't found Plato's Paradise yet. Maybe they beached it and are just sleeping," Colin said over and over again, and Dermot knew the only thing he could do for his brother was drive until Colin told him to stop. That command finally came in a whisper. "Just go home."

Wonderful job, gentlemen! Hopefully, this won't be the last Murphy Brothers collaboration I place upon my book shelf.
