"A born humorist, Ryan Murphy finds comedy in the universal experiences that bind us. Gingered is at once laugh-until-you-cry hilarious, achingly human, packed with nostalgia, and full of life. I cannot recommend this book enough - these stories demand to be read aloud and shared with others."

Lindsay Newton, book editor

"Genuine humor is untouchable and Ryan can't be touched. His debut book hits the center of the bullseye. I'm certain you'll absolutely love how enjoyable these stories are."

Logan Gelbrich, Author of Going Right: A Logical Justification for Pursuing Your Dreams

"Murph has opened the vault to his life, revealing a treasure of hilarity, heart, and hope. The laugh-out-loud moments brought me to tears - he makes ordinary, extraordinary. This is a must read!"

Sue Salvemini, author of the best-selling Leadership by Choice

"Ryan takes the reader right back to the angst, the awkwardness, and everything that goes with being in the tween stage of life. It's funny and painful all at once."

Author Darcy Nybo, talking about the award-winning short story, Roller Magic

"I can assure you that Murph has never been wanted by the FBI, despite what one of his hilarious stories within this book will tell you."

Eric O'Neill, former FBI field operative and author of the bestseller, Gray Day
