My Story

Writing has always been a passion of mine, and for many years I dreamed of writing a children's book with a story line based on our love of owning beagles.  With the encouragement and support of my husband, that dream became a reality.  The main character is a beagle named Scooter.  You will enjoy reading about his adventures.

“Bringing joy into other people's lives can often bring us our own joy; Lauren Murphy knows this well.”

-Lawrence Neighbors, January 2021 Issue

“It was important to Lauren that her stories not only be interesting to children, but also have a theme. Her first book encourages curiosity in children, and the second, determination.”
