CAROLYN C. HOLLAND'S BIO

Currently my writing focuses on a historical romance novel based on real-life characters unearthed through genealogical research. Its settings include Revolutionary France; Alexandria, Virginia; and the New England coast---particularly, Lamoine, Maine. Its time frame is 1785-1845. The historical background involves the Scioto (Ohio) Land Grant, a sub-grant of the Ohio Land Grant, and land grants in Maine. Posts of this work-in-progress are located at BOLM in the category Carolyn’s Novel (www.ProBlogs.com/beanerywriters).

My writing credits extend back to 1990. I’ve been a freelance photojournalist at the Greenville Record-Argus; the Meadville Tribune; the Greensburg Tribune-Review (the Fay-West, Ligonier-Latrobe and Focus Magazine sections); the Ligonier Echo and the Latrobe Bulletin.

My writings are published in the Westmoreland County Historical Society magazine; Penned from the Heart, Vols. 9 & 10; Entourage; Farm Show; the Lincoln Highway Journal; Devo’zine; and Virtue Magazine.

I also co-manage www.ProBlogs.LMBoroLMPark, a newsletter for Laurel Mountain Borough in southwestern Pennsylvania.
