Holly Martynā€™s life has been a miraculous mish-mash of hard knocks, hard work and great adventures. Growing up Mormon in a broken home she was eventually placed in foster care until her high school graduation. Determined not to let her disadvantaged beginning ruin the rest of her life, at eighteen years old she bought a one-way ticket to Tel Aviv and with three hundred dollars in her pocket, set off on a solo journey to the Middle East and Europe, until finally finding her way to New York where she became a successful Wall Street executive.

Holly is a graduate of Columbia University and has studied writing at the University of Iowaā€™s Writers Workshop, Oxford University, University of Cambridge and holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte. Now a writer and mother, she lives in Connecticut and California with her daughter and dog.

Holly writes edgy memoir with a unique voice and perspective. Sheā€™s a forty-something creative non-fiction writer, channeling the spirit of a Hemingway or Kerouac with a modern female point-of-view. Sheā€™s a MILF/cougar on adventures, telling her stories with a quirky, comic tone and feminist and spiritual underpinnings. When sheā€™s at home in Connecticut she volunteers at her kidā€™s school and bakes banana bread. When her child visits her father, Holly hits the road, living an adventurous life. While sheā€™s in search of a potential mate, thatā€™s not her primary goal. Sheā€™s curious, wants to understand people, and more than anything, she wants to hear new stories.
