Molly writes historical fiction inspired by little-known but fascinating figures from the past.  

In 2003, as she was graduating college, she published her first story in Crux Literary Magazine.  Now she is returning to writing after a 20-year career designing award-winning technologies for the U.S. Foreign Service and four Secretaries of State. 

Currently, Molly teaches digital design at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where she is also pursuing an MFA in creative writing.  She has an MA from Georgetown University, and a BA in English Language and Literature from The Catholic University of America in Washington DC.

Molly is writing a novel about the fiercely independent and unmarried young mother who, in the 1660s, became entangled with the most notorious man in Virginia, built her own trading empire, and grew to be the richest woman on the eastern shore, before nearly losing everything.
