Holly Walters originally hails from a small, rural, town in Minnesota. A life-long storyteller, Holly is also a cultural anthropologist with a PhD from Brandeis University working in the high Himalayas of Nepal. While her ethnographic work focuses on fossil folklores and sacred ammonites in South Asia, her creative work pays homage to the dragons, unicorns, and fairy tales of her youth.

When not writing, she can be found perfecting her Medieval archery skills, theorizing about movie plots, and forgetting where she left her tea cup. Today, she makes her home in Boston, Massachusetts, with a very unruly garden, a few equally cantankerous pets, a clever spouse, and a resident house ghost. And since her creepy sculpture hobby hasn’t panned out

The Way By, A Faire Tale by Holly  Walters
"I'm reviewing this as part of a tour with The Write Reads.

I found even at the beginning that this book had a lovely old-fashioned fairytale quality about it that I enjoyed. For me, it felt reminiscent of the classic stories enjoyed in childhood. Init" Read more of this review »
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”

Most of my friends and at least half of my colleagues kept telling me to read this series saying "it's such a YOU kind of thing." Well, they were right. Boundary-challenging science fiction is a weakness of mine and this book hit all the right notes. ...more
