Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Molly, I’ve been writing for publication for 8 years and doing freelance ghostwriting for about 2 years. I’m a SAH mom to 3 special needs girls so working at home is a must. I write clean, sweet romance. Under my own name, I have 4 full length novels published and 2 novellas in anthologies. I’ve lost count of how many ghost writing projects I’ve worked on.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is OUT OF CHARACTER. It’s an inspirational contemporary romance set on a reality TV show. I like the give and take of being in character and out of character. Being actors, you never know if people are being sincere or acting the whole time too.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. My “office” consists of my laptop set on a coffee table in the living room.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
For modern authors, I love Kierra Cass and Meg Cabot. With the classics, I’m a massive Jane Austen fan. The biggest compliment I ever received is being compared to Jane Austen.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the sequel to OUT OF CHARACTER and also a cozy mystery series. I’d really love to incorporate autism and hearing loss more into manuscripts.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t really found the ‘golden goose’ of book marketing and promo yet. I’m always open to blog tours, blog posts, giveaways, online parties, etc. If you need content, I’m your girl.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It’s a tough business. Don’t get discouraged. Write what you love and don’t worry about changing for the market or what’s selling at the moment.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you love.
What are you reading now?
The White Rose by Amy Ewing and The Siren by Kierra Cass.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just hoping to continue writing what I love.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
My phone with my kindle and nook app so I didn’t have to pick 3 or 4.
