I met Murphy Edwards when we shared space in a few anthologies from James Ward Kirk Fiction. Through our interactions online, I became very impressed with him as a person. Not only is he a talented writer who excels in creating interesting, lifelike characters, but he’s also great at encouraging his fellow writers. He and James Ward Kirk have coedited multiple iterations of the INDIANA CRIME REVIEW anthologies. My desire to work with Murphy led me to try my hand at a crime story. It’s always a struggle for me to move away from the horror genre, but I did manage to produce “System Override” which was accepted into INDIANA CRIME REVIEW 2013. If you haven’t read him before, give Murphy’s work a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Now, let’s get Murphy’s answer to: What was your favorite Halloween costume?
My favorite costume was a hand made classic Wizard of Oz ‘Tin Man’ rig, complete with galvanized funnel hat, furnace duct arms and legs and an old railroader’s oil can loaned to me by my grandpa. It helped that I was born on Halloween, as well.
