Stacie Murphy began writing her debut novel, A Deadly Fortune, in March of 2017 as a way to force herself to stay off Twitter in the evenings. (It didn’t work). The novel was a 2018 Pitch Wars selection, mentored by Carolyne Topdjian.

A Deadly Fortune was published in 2021. Its sequel, The Unquiet Dead, followed in 2022. Both novels received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. Murphy’s third novel, The Witch’s Secret, is coming from Pegasus Crime in August of 2024.

Stacie lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and daughter.
