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, libro 1)

 

La primera entrega de la serie Circle y la novela debut de Murray, Destined

te llevará a otro mundo donde la magia y la ciencia se entremezclan, y la línea entre la realidad y el sueño desaparece.

 

Únase a las aventuras de cuatro amigos mientras atraviesan un círculo de hongos inofensivos y tropiezan con la tierra de Aorea. Con solo unos pocos sueños medio recordados para guiarla, Mari lidera al grupo en una búsqueda a través de tierras desconocidas en una carrera contra el reloj. Se encuentran con aliados y enemigos en el camino, incluido un grupo de celosos leshii, varias deidades molestas y un dragón cuya cena robaron accidentalmente. Si no llegan al santuario a tiempo, el caos amenaza no solo a Aorea, sino también al mundo que abandonaron: la Tierra.
