Molly is a 2 time Erma Bombeck award winning writer. She hosts her own humor blog in addition to writing for the popular Moms' website, "Moms Who Need Wine."

Molly has two grown daughters, who pay their own bills. She is proud of them. Molly is also married to an accordion player. This isn't such a wonderful thing.

Molly loves cake, reading, exfoliating, sleeping late, and going out to dinner, but not necessarily in that order.

Her book, "Characters in Search of a Novel," IS novel. Sketches and stories about everyday people, Matthew Bombeck calls it "a wonderful book."

Molly Campbell My book makes a great holiday gift. Or a diversion on a long plane ride. Someone who is a HUGE FAN (ok, my sister) said that so far she has purchased two dozen copies. That will never take me to the top of ANY list. So let's get crackin out there! By the way, the book has it all: sex, nudism, secretaries with secrets, dogs, moonshiners, and cross -dressers. I have a million of 'em....
