Holly has an adventurous side of her: two years ago, she went sky-diving for her birthday; last year she participated in a medical mission to Ecuador where she assisted giving medicines and doing physical exams on more than 200 children and pregnant women.
Holly’s next birthday adventure is water skiing, something she has not done since she was a teenager. She can already picture herself gliding across the water. Hmmmm. Will she be able to slalom ski as she used to? She thinks so.
Holly speaks to various groups on writing, the psychology of murder, the topic of Parental Grief, and how to interview others for your writing.
But when all is said and done, Holly says, “I’m still just that kid from West Mahoning Street in Danville.”
