Hello Everyone!

My name's Holly and I'm an author, artist, and animator.  (Well, sort of.)  I pretty much love everything that's creative other than crafts, which I could never get the hang of.  And cooking.  I try to avoid that, since my specialty is burning pancakes and setting off the smoke alarm.

Since I'm a writer, I guess I'm supposed to do a blog about writing tips.  But my personal belief is that there are already lots of great blogs like that out there, and I probably don't have anything new to add.  And I could never exceed them, anyway.  You can probably think of at least three or four good ones out there (Miss Snark's First Victim, Cornell Deville, Jessica Souders's blog, etc.)  I'll be linking to them soon.

So what to talk about?  Writing and art and animation, of course.  And creativity in general.  And of course, ideas.  I promise, I won't be too boring. 

ABOUT ME

Writer:  I enjoy writing young adult fantasy, followed by young adult horror and middle grade contemporary fantasy (in no particular order.)  My current project, TEMPEST, is about a sixteen-year-old girl who learns she's able to turn into a hurricane…and that she's required by Tempest law to transform once in her life.  Unfortunately, that time is a week from now.  And now she has to figure out a way to escape.  But the evil Tempest leader wants to make her use her power for evil. 

For more info on TEMPEST, visit my "Books" page or click HERE.

I also have another project in the works, called RETA MORSE AND THE SINISTER SHADOW, which is actually a major overhaul from an old project with the same name.  I hope to post more on this soon.

ARTIST: I'm a little less into this area, but my art includes some comics, what goes into my animations, and my book cover. 

ANIMATOR: I love making funny movies as well.  Some movie ideas coming up include a fat cat superhero (thanks to my younger sister) and Disturbed Kid, a kid who's always having really scary things happen to him.  (This one is also thanks to my sister.)
