Holly is 2025-2026 President of the Poetry Society of Texas, a member of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies, and serves on the Board of Poets Northwest, a chapter of PST. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.
