Molly’s first foray into writing and editing was ambitious — a Star Trek and The Land Before Time crossover piece she dictated to her father at the age of 4.

She’s improved since then, we promise.

She’s always tried to make time for reading and writing, the passions that followed her out of her hometown Memphis, through the crazy beautiful city of New Orleans, and now to her home in Rabat, Morocco – with plenty of stops along the way.

When she’s not working, you can find Molly traversing the Moroccan countryside, practicing her Arabic, or making her way through the open-air markets just to look at buildings that have withstood thousands of years. (Just kidding. You’re much more likely to find her just eating all the types of Moroccan bread while cuddling with her cat.)
