2007 Presenters (Authors, Agents, Editors & Producers)
Cecelia Cecelia Holland has been writing since she was 12 years old. Since then, she's spent a good deal of every day writing. She writes historical fiction, because, history seems to hold an endless fund of material. "I like novels, because they are long and wide and deep. Every once in a great while, I try to write a poem, and, now and then, I write a short story, but I prefer novels." Since having her first story, The Firedrake, published in 1966, Cecelia has written a lot, read a lot and raised three wonderful daughters. She lives in northern California, in the country. Once a week, she teaches creative writing at Pelican Bay state Prison, 2 hours away in Crescent City, and, every day, takes care of a small menagerie of little animals.
