Award-winning author Holly Hodder Eger is a New Englander from Belmont, Massachusetts, who has lived around the world. Her travel articles and personal commentaries have been featured in several national as well as local newspapers. She graduated with honors from Harvard College, received an M.A. in English from the University of Virginia, and worked as an editor and writer for public relations firms, advertising agencies, and magazines before starting her own freelance business. Holly and her husband, having moved their three children and dogs internationally seven times, now divide their time between Martha’s Vineyard and Northern California, where she leads writing workshops and teaches writing to high school seniors. She is currently at work on a fictional autobiography of her great-grandaunt, Jessie Donaldson Hodder, who was an early 20th-century feminist and prison reformer who also happened to be dear friends with the philosopher William James.

Split Rock is her first novel.
