Get to Know Me!

First off, FOREVER GRACE is now available in paperback form! There was no need to preface that statement, it just had to be said straight-up. I for one am stoked at the prospect of having a legit book in my hands with a front and back cover and real pages. Get it here.

Secondly, I figured that, at some point, readers will stumble across this page who don't personally know me. For some reason, knowing random things about the authors that write some of my favorite books just makes me love those books that much more. So, here are some random things you probably don't know about me, taken from some question surveys I found on the web, and if you actually do know me (and you're still reading this post), maybe you'll learn something new.

-When did you start writing?
I've written for as long as I can remember. I started out writing stories about horse racing and showing, because I was obsessed with the Thoroughbred series by Joanna Campbell. I wrote all through college as a way to get things off of my mind and procrastinate my other assignments, but I never fully developed and finished story until earlier this year!
-Where did you get the idea for your book?
I woke up with the idea for Forever Grace and had a lot of the details figured out in my head within about ten minutes. The other projects I'm working on haven't happened like that.
-Hometown?
I grew up in a few places but will always consider a tiny tiny town in east Texas as my hometown. It's where I attended high school and spent the years that I think made me into the person I am now.
-What did you want to be when you grew up?
Veterinarian, jockey (self explanatory after question number 1), Victoria's Secret Angel. Yep, quite the variety of far-fetched occupations, I know. Little Holly dreamed big, but I never considered writing to be something I could do as a job, because I thought of authors as these super humans that weren't real people. I still believe that. (I mean, JK Rowling is a goddess.)  
-Pets?
None currently, but I love animals and had just about every pet you could imagine growing up.
-Coffee or tea?
Give me all the coffee.
-What's the weather like right now?
Bipolar. Thank you, Texas. I want winter.
-What countries have you visited?
 Australia, Mexico, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales.
-How many siblings do you have?
Four older brothers. It was like growing up in the middle of Fight Club, 24/7. And it was awesome.
-Favorite movie?
I could never just choose one. Friday Night Lights, Just Friends, the Lord of the Rings series, Just Married, and Nightmare Before Christmas.
-And of course, favorite books?
The books I can read over and over are the Harry Potter series, F*ck Love by Tarryn Fisher, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, Divergent by Veronica Roth

Feel free to ask anything you want to know in the comments! And thank you for all of the support thus far. It's been surreal to take the first step toward making dreams come true.
