Molly O'Keefe and I competed on the same speech team in high school. We both loved the special occasion speaking events.  It seemed like an amazing challenge to find a way to speak and tell stories for a living, but guess what? Our speech team training paid off! (Thanks Coach Pillen at RTHS) Molly has became a successful author while I ended up in radio. WOW, both of our dreams really did come true! 

Molly OKeefe published her first Harlequin romance novel at age 25 and hasn’t looked back. She relocated to Canada with her husband and now is a stay at home mother of two little kids. But for 4-6 hours a day, she brings all of her/our fantasies to life on the page.

Read Molly's latest release is  "Crazy Thing Called Love", published by Bantam books. I loved it, but then again, I am biased. So here is another great recommendation:

“Molly O’Keefe is a unique, not-to-be-missed voice in romantic fiction . . . an automatic Must Read!”—New York Times bestselling author Susan Andersen
