Signing off! Thank you, everyone, for coming along with me on a tour of my writing spaces! THE HEIRESS is in bookstores now. For more book news and other tidbits, follow me at @mollyjgreeley. Thanks so much for having me!
01/15/2021
I’ve loved libraries for as long as I can remember, but I don’t know that I truly realized how much I used them until ours was shuttered for the pandemic. Our local library, @notjustbooks, has long been our family’s go-to fun space. Where else could we go (for FREE!) and run around in a charming children’s garden, play computer games, enjoy some make-believe time in a toy boat, toy kitchen, AND toy lighthouse, and have all the books we could want at our fingertips? We’ve missed the space hugely over the last few months, along with the friendly and helpful librarians who make it such a great place to be. Like many libraries, ours is currently open for curbside service, and I couldn’t be more grateful - it’s made homeschooling (and just pandemic life in general) so much better! Thank you so much to all the hardworking librarians - you are SO appreciated ❤️
01/15/2021
I have a tendency to gravitate toward bookish artwork, and luckily my husband doesn’t seem to mind. This is a print we bought at the @annarborartfair from @printerandpress, and it just makes me feel calm and happy whenever I look at it. Who doesn’t want to sit on a bluff, reading for hours, cushioned by a friendly bear?
01/15/2021
Pre-pandemic, I wrote almost exclusively at local cafes and at the library, and I cannot properly express how much I miss this. The cost of buying enough coffee etc to justify taking up a table was a huge extravagance, but I wrote much more quickly surrounded by the white noise of other people (and without my kids asking me for something every time I took a second to grab a cup of coffee, even when their dad was standing right there 😏). And I so miss the community feel of other regulars hunched over their laptops.
I honestly even miss writing in my car before picking my kids up from school. It was cramped and uncomfortable, yes, but a good chunk of THE HEIRESS was written there!
An enormous shoutout to cafes that have OUTLETS 🙌. And to libraries, of course, those under-appreciated community hubs. The last couple of pictures are from my local library, with its lovely distracting view over the lake.
01/15/2021
Since the pandemic closed cafes and libraries for nice long writing sessions, and since I have three active, loud kids at home, my parents offered me their little upstairs office space to work in on weekends. I’m so grateful to have a quiet place to go!
01/15/2021
So here’s how my workspace REALLY looks on a daily basis. The previous picture was pretty, but totally unrealistic 🙃
01/15/2021
My favorite place to write in our house is at our dining table. That’s where I can be found in the early afternoons, while my 2 year-old naps and my older two kids play outside (we’re homeschooling this year, which adds a fun (read: 🤪) challenge to finding time to get words out).
In the summers, I absolutely love to write on our front porch. And if you swipe to the 3rd picture, you can see the signs I have up on our guest room door, which is where I retreat on Fridays during my toddler’s nap. We’re bubbled with another family whose kids are best friends with our kids, and they come over to hang out Fridays while their mom works. She made the “Writing, be with you soon” sign for me to keep the kids out. My 8 year-old made the other sign 😂
01/15/2021
Hi all! I’m @mollyjgreeley and my second novel, THE HEIRESS, came out last week from @williammorrowbooks. It’s a queer continuation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of Anne de Bourgh, a peripheral character in the original. I’m looking forward to sharing my writing space(s) with you all today!

Always a great way to revisit wonderful authors OR be introduced to new ones!
In new novel, "Mollie's Follies," young, beautiful Mary Lynn Sharp, aka Mollie, is on the run, after a bitter childhood and having been cast into life without guidance. Forced to quit school, she has little money, and no support system; but, Mollie is traveling the USA Mainland alone. East Coast to West Coast and back again, this tall, thin teen is searching for compassion, love, and a place to call home.

I love it when something I’ve researched turns up in unexpected places. Well that just happened on one of my favorite TV shows: Poldark. On Sunday’s night’s episode Ross Poldark is in the House of Commons and mentions that William Wilberforce was speaking against slavery.
My ears perked up because in my new book BURIED LIVES: THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON’S MOUNT VERNON, I have a drawing of the slave ship Brookes. How does this connect to Poldark? In reality, when Wilberforce was arguing in Parliament for the abolition of slavery, he used a wooden model of the Brookes to show the cruelty of slavery. Ultimately slavery was abolished in Britain-and the slave ship Brookes played a part in it.
Here is the link to see the actual model William Wilberforce used:
Binding sounds interesting and up my alley.
Awesome! #2018vla
