Meet The Author Molly Faris

About the Author

Molly Faris has spent her life chasing the perfect swing—on the course, in her writing, and in her search for meaning. A lifelong PGA professional, she moved to California at nineteen and built her career inspiring others to discover the deeper lessons within the game. To Molly, golf has always mirrored life and death—every swing a beginning, every finish an ending, and every round a reminder to keep moving forward. Those lessons became the heart of Route 47, a personal reflection on loss, faith, and the preparing of a soul for Heaven.

Beyond the course, Molly has been exploring a darker, seductive side through her detective-inspired erotica series—think Shades of Grey meets Dexter. Passion, mystery, and danger intertwine in unexpected ways, creating a thrilling, intoxicating world where desire and intrigue collide. The first book will be launching soon, promising twists that are as provocative as they are suspenseful.

Off the page, she shares her humor and heart through playful skits featuring her beloved pets and their “pet influencer” adventures.

Funny, tragic, compelling to the last page.
