While USA Today bestselling author Molly Fitz can't technically talk to animals, she and her doggie best friend, Sky Princess, have deep and very animated conversations as they navigate their days.

Add to that, four more dogs, some snarky felines, comedian husband, and diva daughter, and you can pretty much imagine how life looks at the Casa de Fitz.

Molly lives in a cottage in the Alaskan wilderness where she enjoys a quiet existence with her human family and many animal friends.

Writing her quirky, cozy animal mysteries is pretty much a dream come true, but sometimes she also goes by the name Melissa Storm (a New York Times bestselling author, yay!) and writes a very different kind of story.
