Katherine Holder

Anna was born and raised in Pilot Mountain, North Carolina. She grew up playing make believe and trying to figure out how to make a career out of it. At twelve, she decided that she wanted to be an author, and wrote her first (awful) novel. At eighteen, she deferred college with the support of her parents to pursue writing and attend writer conferences, book festivals, and workshops. Since then, she's become friends and networked with diverse authors and writers all over the country. Anna is a voracious reader and advocate for diverse books and strong women in literature. She loves Kate Spade (a little too much) and thinks of herself as the small town version of Carrie Bradshaw. She believes happiness comes from copious amounts of chocolate and falling in love with yourself first. Her favorite TV couple is Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years, because after all these years, she still looks back with wonder. When she isn't writing, she enjoys hiking, video games, eating Sushi, and people watching in Barnes & Noble.

She is currently earning her bachelors online while writing Young Adult and Adult Contemporary Romance.
