Born in Courtenay, B.C., Murray now lives in Vancouver. While writing, he has worked at a variety of part-time jobs. Two of the more interesting have been the analysis and evaluation of film scripts, and poker (at a semi-legal cardroom near his house).

Lest any of his stories be taken as truth, the author makes the claim, for the record, that he has no children, no tattoos, no history of either heroin use or bank robbery. He does admit to playing a lot of poker, both in Vancouver and in Las Vegas. He also knows a little chess and doesn`t speak a word of Hungarian!

Murray Logan has been published widely in literary journals. His stories have been featured in Coming Attractions 96 (Oberon), and in The Journey Prize Anthology 8 (McClelland & Stewart). Logan is also the author of a short play, `Death And`, which won the 1994 DuMaurier National One Act Play competition. His short story, `Steam` was the basis for a feature film script selected as a winner of the 1996 Praxis Centre for Screenwriters screenplay competition.
