Hi! I’m Molly and you’ve stumbled across my attempt (this website) to be a legit-as-shit, published author!
I’ve lived my 32 years on this earth being many things to many people, but in the solitary confines of my own mind, I have always been a writer without a manuscript.
But not anymore because I have finished one manuscript and am headlong into writing my second!
So welcome to the cozy chaos of my brain. You’re going to love it here. (I do!)
my manuscripts
Travel Memoir about Morocco
I spent threes months falling in love in Moroccan. I had great experiences, great food and even met a handsome stranger. These essays surmount to a love story, one in which the girl gets the life she was already living.
American Road Trip Memoir
When you spend 30 days in an SUV, mostly by yourself driving, you have a lot of time to think–I thought a lot about the road trip I’d taken 11 years earlier with my mother, my auntie and my grandparents; and I thought about my life and how desperate I was to find a purpose for it. You also have a lot of time to admire how beautiful the world is.
