BiographyHistory

Although born in Australia, the daughter of a mining engineer in Kalgoorlie, Murray moved to New Zealand with her family when just three. After leaving school she worked as a typist and her writing career did not begin until she was well into her fifties. After publishing a couple of detective novels, she became a prolific writer of romance fiction, mainly as Gloria Bevan (her married name). Many of her works are set in New Zealand and the Pacific - as far as is known only Gold Coast Affair has an Australian setting. She has returned to the land of her birth on at least one occasion and admits to having an affection for Australia.
