Brandon Murphy (Pen Name Dúghlas Pendragon)

Hello! My name is Brandon Murphy, and I’ve always loved stories. Being dyslexic and being in a school where I was just passed along, reading and books were so intimidating. But learning about everything from myths and legends, to fantasy and science-fiction, as well as poetry and song, filled my imagination. As a child, and frankly even now, I daydream of wondrous things. And the dreams of night far more still.

I grew up in the Bay Area and moved to Los Angeles towards the end of the century to become an actor. I got my SAG card in 2017 but left LA soon after. I’ve always toyed with writing my own stories and have written more than a few, including one when I was a child. But over the years my head fills with ideas that I think would be pretty cool to have others enjoy. 

The “The Rubicon Initiative” is a novel I started writing on and off several years ago. I am currently reworking it based on knowledge and inspiration I have gotten through Gold Country Writers. It started as a dream, evolving into something that I think could reach across different media, at least that’s the dream, heh. 

It is my hope that the combination of ideas in “The Rubicon Initiative” will at least inspire creativity in others.
