New book in the works: The Night Chemist !
Back in May 2025, I had a random dream about a love triangle between a princess, a widowed prince, and the sexy male nanny looking after the prince's children. I told a few friends about it, and they encouraged me to turn that random dream into a book. Many rewrites and edits later, now I'm querying a 109k-word adult romantasy novel rooted in Turkic mythology. It makes use of my doctoral dissertation.
A princess by birth but a chemist by trade, all Aylin Aga (26) wants is to play with her potions in peace until her childhood sweetheart comes calling. Now a widowed khan with three young sons and a border to protect, Ender Volkan (29) needs her father’s support, and Aylin is his path to getting it. Rather than risk the tenuous peace among the northern khanates, Aylin puts aside her resentment at his decade of silence in hopes the boy she knew survived inside the man he became. But then, her grandmother sends her a charmed ring and a warning: He’s not who you think he is. Aylin knows magic isn’t real, yet she can’t shake the suspicion Ender’s sweet promises mask a bitter poison.
I put together a playlist that corresponds to the book to capture the vibes as the plot progresses. I refuse to use Spotify because its policies are horrendous for the actual *human* musicians on there, so instead I made the playlist in Apple Music. Which is only marginally better, but I do what I can. Also keep in mind...I'm a metalhead, so my definition of "vibes" might be a bit different than you expect for the average romantasy. But hey, there's a lot of Sleep Token.

Destined (Circle, livro 1)
A primeira parte da série Circle e o romance de estreia de Murray, Destined
levará você para outro mundo onde a magia e a ciência se misturam, e a linha entre realidade e sonho desaparece.
Junte-se às aventuras de quatro amigos enquanto eles passam por um círculo inofensivo de cogumelos e tropeçam na terra de Aorea. Com apenas alguns sonhos meio lembrados para guiá-la, Mari lidera o grupo em uma busca por terras desconhecidas em uma corrida contra o relógio. Eles encontram aliados e inimigos ao longo do caminho, incluindo um grupo de leshii ciumento, várias divindades irritadas e um dragão cujo jantar eles acidentalmente roubaram. Se eles não chegarem ao santuário a tempo, o caos ameaça não apenas Aorea, mas também o mundo que eles abandonaram: a Terra.
