About Holly:
Raised by storytellers, preachers, and bluegrass musicians, child of the Smoky Mountains with a Cherokee mom and a father whose people came from the Scottish Highlands, I draw on my heritage for inspiration. I stay busy as an author, storyteller and an ordained priest in the Celtic Christian Church. I often teach writer's workshops, appear at conferences and conventions and coach a select group of promising authors. I live just outside Atlanta and spend enough time in the Smoky Mountains to feed my soul.
You can find most of my books on Amazon.com if not at your book store.

The decal on the rear window my car. The only one like it in the Clergy parking lot.
I began this journey years ago while on the nursing staff of a hospital near Atlanta. Many of our patients who were preparing to leave this world, found themselves alienated from their faith but desiring the sacraments that gave them peace. Father Robert Fisher, the priest at the little Episcopal Church my family attended, always came when I called. I marveled at the serenity he left in his wake. He encouraged me to consider ordination so I could do what he did for those who needed it. It took many years, and my mentor had already passed into the Eternal by the time I made it, but I will always thank him for setting me on the path.
My first act as a priest was to administer last rights to a friend.

Conjuror. As close as I will ever come to writing an autobiography This one was easy to write. I remembered how I saw life as a child, listening to stories my grandfather told and believing every word. I let Wren speak for me and see the world as I saw it, full of magic and wonder. So far, no complaints from people who recognized themselves, even though I changed the names and did my best to disguise their identity. John McLeymore lives among people not his own, with secrets he doesn't want to know. Loving the granddaughter of an old man who holds the key, forces him to make unbearable choices and commit unspeakable deeds that will change everything he believes. One five star review said: "The book has been very good and this last quarter has been nothing short of Fantastic. I couldn't put it down. I read for two hours trapped in the Spirit World of serpents, Spirit Walkers and all kinds of good and evil, led there to the edge by a little girls dreams. I'll never look at the fog or mist in the same way again." New York Times best selling author, Steve Berry says: A monster serpent, amulets of power, secret societies, ancient legends —— the perfect recipe for tension and turmoil that adds up to high-stakes entertainment. Conjurer. Just the title itself is enticing, but the entire story resonates with spirit, blending myth with reality, tragedy with triumph. A banquet of adventure.” |
