MOLLY COCHRAN

Born in Japan of an American military father and a Japanese mother, Molly Cochran did a considerable amount of moving in her youth before graduating high school. After earning a degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a period studying at the Sorbonne, Ms. Cochran gave into her bohemian urges and lived a "hippy" life in several spots on the globe. After a few years she met and married fellow author Warren Murphy with whom she produced several well received action thrillers as well as a son of whom she is quite proud. Eventually she and Mr. Murphy would go their separate ways. Ms. Cochran has since been working on a series of adventures geared towards young females. She is, according to her website, hoping soon to write a novel based around her maternal grandfather, a descendant of samurais.
