Holly’s Story
Holly’s First Chapters
As a child, she zoomed around her neighborhood on her bicycle, chasing evil-doers or running from them, and always rescuing someone in distress. Eventually, the bicycle became a pen, and today she writes historical mysteries so she can still chase after and run from evil-doers; plays based on uncommon folktales for kids to perform; and fantasy stories about pines, sparrows and piratical octopi.
At sixteen, she wrote and directed a Christmas play, transcribed the diaries of a great-great-great grandfather who served in the Civil War, and wrote her first novel. Whew! No wonder she didn’t have any boyfriends.
She became a history and music teacher, host of a children’s radio show, and with her husband, a Peace Corps volunteer in Romania.
Holly lives in rural Colorado, where she is blessed to have gigantic Mt. Blanca in her backyard. She has lovely flower gardens, two grown kids, four kitties, and a flock of evil chickens who eat her flowers.
