Marlo Holly is a graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature and an Oklahoma-based writer with a professional background in marketing and media. She loves music and currently serves on the board of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra. When she’s not writing, you can find her listening to music, planning her next adventure, or spending time with her favorite people—her family. A proud mother and grandmother, she believes in the power of words to heal, connect, and uncover truth. Her writing is inspired by the beauty of everyday moments, the bonds that hold families together, and the quiet strength of young people learning who they are.
