If I could die while reading a book that’s the best ending for me.

Although I lost faith, I haven’t lost his name. I say it automatically, a dozen times a day—like a fool.

I was excited because my local library has ordered my book! I thought it would be fun to stop in and take a picture of it. When I got there, it had already been checked out! That’s kind of cool.

I am excited to announce that my beautiful, urban, hard covered book, The Alpha Bet is available TODAY! This collection includes 111 unique works. Often writers are asked if their stories are true, within my poetry, I share so much of my heart. The truth is spread across those pages for your consideration. Please support a starving writer.

I’ve been working on something unique over the past year, and I am so excited to say it’s finally ready! The Alpha Bet, an edgy, chaotic menagerie of poems and musings is out NOVEMBER 20th 2023!!! The hard cover looks fantastic and if you order it soon, you’ll have it in plenty of time for the holidays! The perfect addition to any coffee table.

Should I do a short story collection soon?

I'm working on three very different books and all are nearly ready for publication. I'm so excited about each project and can't wait to see them off. I wasn't kidding about the variety:

The Alpha Bet - Poetry & small works 108 unique pieces, ADULT THEMES
Vasaria & Muriel Become Squirrels - Children's modern fairy tale
Book of James - Smoking hot dramancedy (drama/romance/that lifts)

Love is books
Books are love

Writing and Love
a poem by holly manno

Writing (like love)
Is a puzzle
sentences—words—ideas
there are many fits
the challenge is
finding the best one
magic
connect
strings
instead of pieces
love is writing

Published first here, but coming soon as a complete collection, look for announcements, The Alpha Bet

Something I'm working on:

The restaurant was bursting with people and sound. Glasses clinked in cheers, friends hugged a greeting, and servers rushed about. Every table was full. All the bar stools were occupied. A few people stood to hover around friends and internet dates as my co-worker, Carrie, and I sat rapt, listening to Ralph's story.

Tatters, a poem

https://www.hollymanno.com/post/tatte...

Once her gaze crossed the hillsides and poured over the straight lines of the city, her sights moved west. The dimensions she rose with her warming glance fell back to mono.

I'm so excited to announce the pre-order (Amazon) for my newest project, a poetry collection called, A COMPILATION of FLOWERS by Holly Manno.
