About the author Muffy Walker
Muffy Walker was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA. In 1983, Walker graduated with a Master's of Science in Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. She worked in the mental health field for over 18 years until she moved to California when she obtained her MBA with a focus in marketing from the University of California-Irvine.
Walker has owned several companies both for and not for profit and is the co- founder of International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF). She has served on the Board for the American Brain Coalition, Advisory Council for Children's Mental Health Network, Editorial Board for bp Magazine, and the Community Engagement Task Force for International Society for Bipolar Disorders and was Co-Chair for the launch of World Bipolar Day.
Walker has dedicated over three decades of her life championing the education of the public about mental illness and has won numerous awards for her advocacy work including the National Council Behavioral Health IMPACT Award, the International Society for Bipolar Disorder’s most highly coveted Mogens Schou Award, Salvation Army Woman of Dedication, YWCA Visionary Award, YWCA Tribute to Women and Industry (TWIN Award), Leonard Simpson Women Who Give Back Award, and the Emily Bagnall Philanthropy Award.
She has written extensively on mental health topics, contributing chapters, guides, and newspaper articles to the field. Now, she is channeling that experience into writing fiction, weaving together her professional expertise and personal passions to create stories that entertain while offering insights into complex, real-world issues. Her debut novel, Memory Weavers, published by Koehler Books launches April 8. Her goal is to educate readers in a way that feels natural, engaging, and thought-provoking.
When not writing, Walker loves exploring exotic destinations, savoring decadent chocolate desserts, and spending time with her dogs. She is also an avid pickleball player and enjoys the strategy and fun of Mah Jong.
