The strange and wonderful stories she’d written inspired Holly with a life-long love of the unusual, and gave her the courage to try to create some of her own.If she couldn’t have real-life adventures (LARPING doesn’t count), she could at least write about the ones she’d like to have. Though she still wakes up every morning hoping to see a GATE floating above her bed.Holly lives in Colorado, with her two sisters and a conure named Zelda. She also had a brother, but he’s gone (he’s still alive, she just can’t remember where she left him.)view less
