Holly Searcy is a self-avowed nerd and lover of words. An avid reader and writer, she earned a degree in English and creative writing before diving into the world of publishing. A four-year detour took her to the rat-race realm of marketing and advertising before she came to her senses and returned to her true love: books. When she's not reading, writing, or playing Dungeons & Dragons, she's probably enjoying games and a nice pinot with friends. She lives in Oregon with her husband, two wonderful black cats, and a crazy orange tabby who might be Armageddon incarnate.
