AITA: I said her dad was a liar & I’m not to be messed with & I have eyes everywhere. Alice attempted to trick me. So if I dangle her friends off of a sky-high building & threaten to burn the man she loves am I really the one who’s the asshole?

Hi 👋 It's been a long time since I was on here so let me introduce myself: I'm Molli. I write books that embrace some/all aspects of my identity: fat, queer, neurodivergent, Jewish, mental health struggles, disabled...it's a lot! But I do it with joy. Every book I write showcases characters who...

Realm of Hearts smoky haze over everything, fat woman in a blue dress contrasted with a woman in an overflowing red dress, Alice in Wonderland quotes in background: Six impossible things. We're all mad here, all the best people are. Why is a raven like a writing desk? Curiouser and curiouser. If I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense. I knew who I was this morning but I've changed since then. Who are you? I give myself very good advice but I very seldom follow it. A very merry unbirthday to you.

Apparently I forgot to share this here!

My latest #picturebook is on submission! MY BODY IS A… focuses on the beautiful things our bodies do for us, how they deserve our respect, and most importantly that we are in charge of our bodies.

On submission. My Body Is A… by Molli Jackson Ehlert Bodies protect us, adventure with us, feel with us, but most importantly: our bodies belong to each of us. SEL Lyrical Picture Book From a house to a planet to a tree, MY BODY IS A… takes the reader on a lyrical journey of discovering and admiring the wonders of our bodies and the boundaries needed to properly take care of them. Respecting our bodies—and by extension ourselves—is a crucial tool in fostering a strong sense of self-love. Comp Titles Bodies Are Cool, Tyler Feder Big, Vashti Harrison Body Boundaries, Elizabeth Cole I Am Enough, Grace Byers I Am Human, Susan Verde About the Author Molli Jackson Ehlert is a critically acclaimed author of two picture books: Everybody Has A Body (Triple Starred and Kirkus Best Books) and All Food Is Good Food (featured on numerous parenting and nutrition accounts). She strives to create stories she never saw growing up, highlighting qualities often looked down upon. She wants readers who struggle to feel seen on the pages of books to open hers and say, “That’s me!” A piece of her identity goes into every book she writes: fat, queer, Jewish, neurodivergent, disabled—Molli embraces it all through joy. Molli is mother to an active 6-year-old and a bouncy baby, both equally obsessed with books. She hopes they will grow up with open minds and open hearts.

CRIMSON PEAK X PHANTASMA
No memory. No living souls but each other. Alloson & John have one hell of a fight to survive the ghostly limbo encompassing Radfield Hall. Between the 200y/o nightly ball, demonic lion, & bloody prophecy, curses are rough.

a dark staircase background. White text: Snippet: Dancers. Dozens of them. Dead dancers. Slightly transparent, and half-rotting. The foul stench assaulted my nose, like a spoiled carcass left to the elements. Saliva gathered in my mouth, and I choked down the acrid taste of bile. Intricate evening gowns and suits were full of moth holes and tatters. Hollowed, paled eyes stared blankly at their partners as they held each other with skeletal arms that bore hanging, decomposing flesh. Some had only gristled skulls for faces, having succumbed to the further reaches of death. Dark, oozing blood stained their clothes, as if some great massacre had occurred, only for them to be resurrected for one last dance. ECHOES OF RADFIELD HALL

A wall with green wallpaper and a hardwood floor. Black liquid running down the wall. A dark-cloaked figure standing in the foreground. White text that reads: Those glowing coal eyes burned into me above a gleaming smile. “Cry your tears,” she said in a low, rasping voice. “They’ll haunt these walls like the others.” Her hand tightened painfully, cutting my air to a trickle. My arms were pinned between her knees, leaving me to flail my feet helplessly against the floor. I tried repeatedly to roll her off me, but it was futile. The world faded at the edges. The demonic old woman bent lower, her vile breath washing over my face as her eyes bore into mine. Dark words sliced into me. “He takes what he is owed.” These Dark Tears
