I am so pleased to share the news that my debut novel, Mark of the Loon, is now available as an e-book on Amazon! It’s been a journey and an incredible education. I’ve shared much of it with you, and believe me there’s so much more to come. I deeply appreciate your interest and your support. Several comments and revews appear below — and if you have a minute, please hop over and “Like” the page!
About Mark of the Loon: What happens when a single workaholic falls in love with an old stone cottage? In Mark of the Loon, Madison renovates and sells property in addition to her busy real estate sales career. Her work-centric lifestyle leaves little time for anything beyond business and her three wise, hilarious friends. When Madison buys the Blackburne’s former house, a series of events both endanger her and lead her to love – and a permanent home. Madison’s story is about taking risks, dealing with loss, and about deep, satisfying, unconditional friendships.
What readers and reviewers are saying:
“Molly Greene’s stunning debut novel, Mark of the Loon, is a glorious read, with brilliant descriptions and pitch-perfect characterization. I loved spending time with the four smart, wise, fun-loving women at the center of this novel. As I read, their gorgeously developed friendship made me wish I could climb into their world and join them. With Mark of the Loon, Molly Greene has established herself as a remarkable new voice in contemporary fiction.”
Author of the bestselling novel In Leah’s Wake, Terri Giuliano Long
“If you enjoy romance, mystery and stories that celebrate the deep ties among friends, don’t miss out on Mark of the Loon. The dialogue between Madison and her women friends is simply irresistible. Add in Madison’s new romance and the mystery surrounding the Blackburne’s former house, and you get a richly layered novel sure to delight and entertain. A wonderful debut by a rising star.” Author of Treasure Me and The Tree of Everlasting Knowledge, Christine Nolfi
”I was absolutely enthralled by Mark of the Loon. What a gorgeous novel Ms. Greene has created! The friendship between the characters was superb … The way the tale was crafted and layered was entirely flawless … The author has a particularly good knack with dialogue … It was a wonderful and rich story … This is a book you don’t want to put down and can’t wait to pick up again.” Author of Contract of Defiance, Tammy Salyer
“Molly writes a rich story full of lush descriptions. Her characters are deep and chock full of relevant issues. She explores divorce, career priorities, living alone, bereavement, and other issues women face.” Author of The Lustre, Kate Policani
“Mark of the Loon presents a story rife with intrigue from the very first, and it glides along easily on author Molly Greene’s confident prose. History, mystery and romance are skillfully intertwined to create a canvas that quickly draws the reader in … Greene’s talent for crafting original characters is also clear; each is an enchantment – both heroes and villains – and their vibrancy will stay with you long after the final pages.”

Molly, you’ve already had some well-deserved and wonderful feedback, so I hope your heart is singing. I’m also a big fan of Mark of the Loon and wish you great success with it. It’s truly something to be proud of. Now, have you told your parents yet? Big hugs!
I am exhausted after all the hard work and I wish I had a glass of wine to celebrate – ha ha ha!!
You know, grape juice has all of the same red-pigment stuff to help your heart that wine does. It tastes great and it’s cheaper, too.
Stay well Molly.
Yes, and white grape juice is my fave.
I just finished this book, just now. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will have more to say in my review, so I’ll make this short and sweet: buy it. You won’t be disapponted.
SWEET! My heart is full. Thank you so much, I deeply appreciate your wonderful comment!
Thank you for the quote, Molly! I’m so thrilled for your shining moment (living the dream, hard work and all). I can’t say enough how extremely gratified I am to have had the opportunity to be part of such a special time. Thank you for letting me share in it with you. With any luck, someday, I’ll be following in your footsteps! Keep it up and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you penned a truly wonderful and charming book. xo
The gratitude is all mine, Casee – I can’t wait until we can tweet YOUR book! Thanks so much again for your lovely review and for your support!
So happy for you Molly! I fell in love with your cover when you had the reveal and have been waiting for this day! I just went over and bought it and am anxious to get reading. I am sure I will fall in love with this story, just like I did the cover. Pour some kool-aid in that wineglass and take a sip!
Thank you Laura! Jan Marshall’s cover design for Mark of the Loon is fabulous, I agree. Thanks for your kind words!
Yay! So happy to see that it’s official! Congratulations!
Thank you Tammy! Contract of Defiance is on my TBR list now that I can breathe again. Thanks for your support!
Congratulations Molly! How exciting to finally have it Out There.
I went and bought a copy straight away.
This is how it worked for me: I really like your author “voice” that I’ve read on this blog after finding you on Twitter many months ago, the blurb is well-written and the plotline piqued my interest, and your personal tone tends to be genuine, humorous and uplifting, so I’m optimistic there might be similar qualities in the book.
Congratulations again, you little newborn author you!
From your lips to God’s ears, Belinda. I am excited, but will repeat that the best part of all this has been the connections I’ve made on Twitter. Thank you so much for your support!
Hey Molly ~ Great! I’m on my way over to buy my copy. I’ll get you a 10 star review as soon as I read the whole thing. Loved the first 4 chapters. I know you’ll do well with this novel and you deserve that. Good luck and let me know anything I can do to support you. And that is not bullshit. If you need something I can do, just give me a shout.
Kind Regards,
Ron
