Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing
state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughter. Some of her
hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling and long walks on the
beach…which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing
out movie quotes. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, she
can be found hiding out in her bedroom surrounded by her laptop, cell, Kindle
and fighting over the TV remote. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies,
fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a
thunderstorm...or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she
can pretend they aren't really happening.
You can find Molly on Facebook, Twitter, via email and on Goodreads
I just finished Taking Chances. I loved this book. I could not put it down. This book is so full of emotion. Keep up the awesome work. I am looking forward to your future book
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love this book! I was emotional for 2 days! Thanks for a great read!
ReplyDeleteAmazing book! I stayed up really late last night finishing this and was in tears to the very end. I can't wait to read the next book she writes! Highly recommend
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all loved it!!!! Can't wait to get other books out to y'all!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book because I loved Chase's character. I was nervous to start it because I had just finished 'beautiful disaster' and thought they were identical. Of course, I was wrong and I apologize for the comparison
DeleteI loved chase. I lived how he changed for her and his undyin attention and love for her. Yes, he had his
One te but they grew out of constantly watching his true live with another man. I thought Harper wasn't worthy of him (I hated her for not telling him immediately) and found Brandon to be a boring boyfriend (no offense).
Yes, it's a book but I was stunned and so upset by the turn of events. As a past 'fanfiction' writer and reader, I understand why you are standing your ground on not making the ending a dream-it diminishes the story. But, having said that, I think it's totally doable with the sequel, 'stealing harper'. Although I wished for a different ending, I enjoyed the book and admire your obvious writing talent. I cannot wait for chase's pov!!! One more thing, aw, not 'chase junior'???
How can I purchase this book for a gift?
ReplyDeleteSeriously this was an amazing book and I really love the teaser for your new book. You are really so talented. Thank you for sharing Harper, Chase & Brandon with us. I know this will be one of those books I read over and over! Please keep writing!!!
ReplyDeleteTaking chance was awesome will be re reading...
ReplyDeleteI have a read a teaser and would like to find a copy ~BUT~ Living in Canada can't seem to find one.. Anyone know where i can find one???
ReplyDeleteI am reading Taking Chances right now. I was up til 3am last night reading. I CANNOT put this book down. I am 42 yrs old and this book is YA? OMG I love it! I cannot wait to find out what happens next. And you're doing a Chase POV? Jesus I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading Taking Chances, and I must say this is one of the most amazing books I have ever read!! I don't want to put it down for a second, I am so caught up in it. I am loving the characters the ups the downs everything. It is such a great book, very well done. I can not wait to read more from you!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all love it!!! Deena - it's not currently out in print, but you can get it on ebooks! SOON I will be getting it in print, promise.
ReplyDeleteOmg I loved taking chances, I got so lost in the book i was dreaming about it. I was laughing crying and evening smiling. I loved it and thensome. I really hope you keep writing! I haven't found another book that fills my cravings more than this one. Thank you!

I just finished reading Taking Chances this afternoon although I did stay up until 3 a.m. at which point I was crying so had to call it a night. I was upset! I am upset! I love this book so much but I must say I am not happy that Chase was not Harper's happy ending. I want him back!!
ReplyDeleteLoved your book!!!! You need this to become a movie so I can die all over again!!!! It was so amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen were you born? I have to do a report on your book and about you. By the way I LOVED it!
ReplyDeleteWho do you picture as the main characters in From Ashes? :)
ReplyDeleteLoved Taking Chances...an amazing book...really great characters...cannot stop telling everyone about the book and what a curve ball you threw right in the middle...still cannot believe it...feels like I lost a friend...having said all that I am so looking forward to Stealing Harper and some more tears and heart break...
ReplyDeleteWhat a super read! My kids basically had to fend for themselves for two days while I was wrapped up is your fabulously heartbreaking love triangle ;) I look forward to reading your future works, congratulations again and I wish you huge success!
ReplyDeleteMolly.....Oh.My.Gosh!!! That is pretty much all that I can say. I want to thank you more then words can say that you brought Harper, Chase, and Brandons story to all of us! When it came to the HUGE Climatic spot in the story i could NOT stop crying. I had to set the book down and kept blowing my nose and wiping my eyes. LOL :D But seriously I was trying to keep it together to read and just was having the hardest time ever!!! I fell in love with all of the characters and felt all of there heartbreak like it was my own. I was so completely drawn in and I felt like I was in the book living it out myself. This seriously was the most amazing story I have ever read (and that's saying something when I have my own lil personal libary :) lol) So Thank You again Molly for letting my "live" in this story, it will most definitely be reread again and again!!!!
ReplyDeleteDownloaded Taking Chances on a whim on my Nook and I was a little concerned about being bored when I saw the lenth ... but OH. MY. GOODNESS. I haven't cried that hard or have been so emotional attatched to fictional characters in forever (and I burn through a couple books a week). I am sooo glad I found that story & and I can't wait to read whatever you come out with next!!
ReplyDeletesane here, i cant get over it!
DeleteMOLLY ARE YOU EVER GOING TO SELL HARDCOPIES OF TAKING CHANCES? I really want one:(
ReplyDeleteOkay...first of all your book BLEW MY MIND!!!! I love the twists and turns Harper takes in finding her way out of the crazy, heated, passionate love triangle she has gotten herself into. First I was totally Team Chase. He was charmingly sarcastic and super sexy. He was mysterious, yet obvious. Then I was Team Brandon with his rough, sexy voice and his masculinity. At first the whole Underground fighting wasn't cool (totally just dissed my cousin, Nicole Reed, for making a character in her newly released eBook an MMA fighter in training), but for Brandon, it completely worked. I was so connected to each character and could not put down my Kindle or my iPhone. I laughed and cried and became friends with each character as the book progressed. I found myself heated with each passionate love scene, wanting more. I fantasized about the passion that Brandon and Harper had for each other, wanting what they had in my own relationship. Your book just became my new favorite. One of the best books I've read in a while. You are a very talented writer Molly.
ReplyDeleteHey Molly Oh my God didn't realized you lived here in Texas like me! :D Anyway, I love your books and I just finish some of you playlist songs (love 'em by the way). Well I also like to read and write stories! I'm aspiring to become a writer, right now I'm writing notes for my very first book that I hope i can get published! So I was wondering if you could possibly give me some pointers after I start writing. So yeah...feels akward...lol but anyway I hope to hear from you sonn? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Molly ! Taking Chances is an amazing book. Had me crying for hours, I even DREAMT about the book! I felt the love between Brandon and Harper, and I felt the attraction and passion between Chase and Harper as well. You had me laughing and crying and just full of emotion as I read. I aspire to be an author just like you. You inspire me :') I hope Taking Chances is made into a movie! I'll be first in line! :D Please release the date for Stealing Harper ASAP. I CAN'T WAIT. I will be preordering it (:
ReplyDeleteI know this will probably sound crazy, but when I go to order Taking Chances it says preorder, released in April 2013, but I see everyone else reading it. How can I get it?
ReplyDeleteThere should be saga to this book!!
ReplyDeleteIt was simply amazing and now I'm making my friends read it!
I'm in love with Taking Chances. Honestly, I seen so much of myself in Harper. I was a mess reading this. The book just fitted my current situation in life. I'll actually beg for you to make more books like this. I'm excited to read "From Ashes" shortly.
ReplyDeleteI didn't want this book to end. Saga sounds good.
I can't help but think Taking Chances would make a great film too. I'm in love with the book totally.
Thank you Molly,
Chloe

I have read taking chances and am half way through from ashes and I can honestly say that you, Molly McAdams, are my inspiration. Your writing is so amazing. Your books send me to my magical place and I read taking chances in to days and I'm only 14!
ReplyDeleteI read with great interest your idea of publishing your first book online. I, too, am a writer although not of "teen lit." How or with whom did you publish online? I'm on Kindle but would definitely like to hit more readers. Thanks for any info you can provide.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something to read and randomly chose Taking Chances, hoping it would be a decent read. Holy cow, I stayed up all night so I could finish it. My poor 4yr old can't understand why mommy needs a nap more than he does. I LOVED the book, I bawled my eyes out at several points but it was also so heartwarming!!!! Very excited to check out your other books!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adored Gage in From Ashes! But I am sad to say that I was thoroughly disappointed by the ending of Taking Chances. I loved Chase and was crushed when he died and his baby never got to meet his father. :'( But I love love looooove your writing and wanted to know if you were working on any new books that I could check out!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that Taking chances has got to be my favourite book, amazing story that i'll never forget!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely be recommending this book to friends.
Thank you so much for this book!
I did not read Taking Chances but ordered and read Stealing Harper and cried like a baby. I could not believe the author would kill off the main character at such a time, only after released it was a sequel to Taking Chances so got it and tried to read it but just could not get pass the death of Chase was very disappointed that he had to died. I am sorry but will never be able to read the first book now after reading Stealing Harper to me the whole story of Harper is wasted she and Brandon do not deserve their happeness at Chase's expense when in my opinion he loved her best and she just played him from the start.
ReplyDeleteNow that you have written from both Harper and Chase's pov is there maybe a Brandon story coming???
