Christine Murphy has lived, worked, and traveled in more than a hundred countries, including living for eleven months in a tent across the African continent and a year as a resident in a Buddhist nunnery in the Himalayas. A trained Buddhologist, Murphy has a Ph.D. in religious studies. Her first novel, Notes on Surviving the Fire, will be released on February 25. And I’m lucky enough to be interviewing her at Porter Square Books, Boston Editon, at 7pm.
