5 Minutes Alone… With Holly Christine
Holly Christine unveils her latest, TUESDAY TELLS IT SLANT, a cautionary tale of self-criticism, ambition, and being careful what you wish for.
We’d like to thank her for taking the time to be part of our “5 Minutes Alone” interview series.
AuthorScoop: What was your very first publication credit?
Holly: A spritual fable, THE NINE LIVES OF CLEMENZA. The story begins in heaven and follows one soul through its journey of life. It’s a tale of reincarnation, but with a special twist: Clemenza can become anything that she wishes. She begins as air.
AuthorScoop: Tell us about your latest release.
Holly: TUESDAY TELLS IT SLANT is the story of a girl with a past that is less than desirable. During an especially 
traumatic moment, she decides to ditch her real past and create one that she has always dreamed of. She becomes thin, popular and desired. In doing this, she loses herself. The book unravels through diary entries, third person narratives and the poetry of Emily Dickinson as Tuesday strives to find her true past.
AuthorScoop: Aside from your own hard work, who (or what) else do you feel has contributed to your success?
Holly: My family is incredibly supportive. I also have a few college professors that guided me through the editing and publishing process.
AuthorScoop: At what time of day or night do you do your best writing?
Holly: I start very early, especially from a night of tossing and turning with bits of storyline and dialogue, and down a pot of coffee. I let the caffeine do the work and I work until I’m exhausted.
AuthorScoop: Finally, what advice would you give to new or unpublished writers?
Holly: Never, ever give up on your dream. Everyone says it, but write every day. Start a blog. Share your dream with others. Sometimes sharing makes it all the more real.
