Like many of you, I like to use the New Year to evaluate last year and focus on the next one. I have been geeking out with my new planner but have also paused to reflect. 2017 saw the realization of a goal of publishing my memoir Float On, something I’ve been working on for…
Memoir Intensive Begins February 1st!
Part of my new year’s reflections include how grateful I am to be teaching. Because of that I developed this new class, which I am really excited to share. Please check it out and share with your friends! What’s your story? This new class offering is for all writers, from beginners to advanced. Let’s meet…
Location or Proximity?
For the first time our family is going to wake up on Christmas morning not at home in Kansas, but away in sunny California. We like to travel during Christmas break, but our tradition has been to leave town on Christmas Day. It’s fun to open gifts, eat homemade cinnamon rolls and then hit the…
There Are No Accidents
My new friend in Palm Springs died recently. I wrote about him last summer when I answered a sign looking for someone to walk his dog Toby. Roger was terminally ill, so it wasn’t a surprise, but he was a man I immediately connected with and felt quite fond of. I had this photo printed…
A Launch in Photos

In Memory of My Friend & Mentor
“But there would be no book without our agent Neil Salkind, whose amazing perseverance on our behalf and whose constant stream of positive words cannot be matched.” I wrote this in the acknowledgments section of our cookbook The Cook’s Book of Intense Flavors, which was published in 2010. It’s accurate to say that I wouldn’t have published…
With a little help from my friends…
I hate to ask for help. Maybe it’s a Midwestern thing or a control issue or because I’m a Sagittarius (yes, my birthday is coming up) – but for most of my life I would have rather eaten glass than to ask for something, even if I really wanted it. Naturally, this hasn’t always worked…

Please join me at the Launch Party for Float On, December 1st at Van Go in Lawrence! Love, Molly
Book Club Questions
Molly’s dad told her, “Just do a little every day, it will get done eventually.” She wrote that this was the most practical advice she got from him. What other life lessons do you think she received from her dad? This is sneak peek at the bonus Book Club Questions at the end of my…
