Joe Murphy

Joe Murphy

Joe Murphy was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois. He was practically weaned on science fiction, watching reruns of the original Star Trek and Lost in Space with his mother.

After high school, Joe went to college and jumped around from studying computer science, to education for the hearing impaired, to finally landing on a Bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology at Illinois State University. Three years later, he earned with his Master’s in Audiology from Western Illinois University.

Science fiction and (especially) fantasy had always been a part of Joe’s life, whether in movies, TV, or books. After writing a review of Lisa Lee’s and Tee Morris’s Morevi on the Dragon Page’s old forums, the Dragon Page made Joe the “official” book reviewer for The Dragon Page Radio Talk Show.

Joe passed away on April 1, 2007. He fought the good fight against eiomyosarcoma, but it eventually took him from us. He was our friend and colleague and we loved him very much. Joe will be greatly missed in our lives. We bid farewell to a dear and sweet man.
