When she was nine years old, Murasaki Hideki found her true passion -- writing. She wrote her first book then, followed by another, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, when she was 13, and has been writing ever since.

Muraskai has produced more than ten books which she hopes to publish in the future. Currently, her book, The Extralife Chronicles: The Slayer and the Ruin-er (Volume 1), is for sale on Amazon.

The young novelist maintains a blog at The Cat is Speaking, and has a profile on Authonomy, by Harper Collins.

Murasaki was born in 1994 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now lives with her family in Maine. In addition to writing, she loves swimming, networking, traveling and reading.
