Bob Murphy is a retired truck driver and moving company executive with 55 years in the transportation industry. His years traveling America’s highways gave him a front-row seat to the people, places, hardships, and friendships found along the road.

His novels form the Roads of Iron Universe—a growing collection of character-driven stories about blue-collar men and women, family, loyalty, second chances, and the courage to stand up for others and defend what is right.

America’s highways and backroads connect its small towns and big cities, and the people traveling them are the heart of the country. Murphy blends authentic details of life on the road with fiction shaped by the people he has known and the many miles he has traveled.

After retiring, he realized he still had more roads to travel. That inspired him to turn a lifetime of experience and imagination into fiction and build the Roads of Iron Universe one story at a time—with new books, new characters, and many more miles still to come.
