Patti Murphy is a writer, PR and media relations specialist, dog owner, cat lover, occasional public speaker, and dabbling artist who lives in Boise, Idaho.
Her writing credits include magazines such as Sun Valley Magazine, Sun Valley Home & Design, Sun Valley Guide, Northwest Travel and Oregon Coast Magazines, Idaho Golf Magazine, and Eagle Magazine. Patti also has written and reported for local and national newspapers including The New York Times, Idaho Statesman, Twin Falls Times-News, Idaho Mountain Express, Boise Weekly, Idaho Business Review, and others.
Patti’s first book, ”Mother Knows Best – Wit and Wisdom from Idaho Moms,” was released on May 3, 2011 and by May 6 it was on the Best Sellers list at Rediscovered Books in Boise, Idaho. The book features witty, crazy, funny and inspirational “momisms” that Idahoans remember their mothers saying.
She writes on a wide-range of subjects — from the excruciating details of the nationally-televised double murder trial of Sarah Johnson, to the resignation of Idaho State Senator Larry Craig, and the emotional history of the Japanese Americans who were imprisoned in Idaho’s Minidoka internment camp during World War II. Her lighter subjects include pampered pets, travel, architecture and food. Please visit Patti’s Portfolio page for a glimpse of her work.
Patti is a member of the Idaho Writer’s Guild, Cabin Literary Center, on on the board of directors of the Idaho Press Club.
