Holly Smith spends much of her time enjoying her small hobby farm alongside her husband, Patrick. She has two amazing daughters. One is a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and the other is a senior in college. Before moving from Oregon to South Carolina, she worked as a social worker, school psychologist, special education consultant, and as adjunct faculty teaching undergraduate psychology and graduate level education classes. She loves living a simple life with her family and animals and enjoys homesteading, prepping, living off of the land, and cultivating her creative side. When she is not writing, you are likely to find her scouring beaches in search of agates, riding horses, painting, or gardening. Holly considers herself a bit of an oddball and wants to one day be the old lady who makes people think, Oh crap, what's she up to now? She considers herself a color outside the lines kind of person who loves to write and create. She has won several writing contests beginning as early as elementary school.
