The Writings of Lauren Holt

I grew up in Northern California with a true character for a father, a loving Frenchwoman for a mother, and a dachshund for a confidante.  In the summers, I visited my grandparents in North Carolina, where I fell in love with crickets, humidity, and Americana music.  I earned my BA in English Literature from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, my MA in English Composition and Linguistics from San Francisco State University, and my ability to write from my persistent need to do so.  Professionally, I have predominantly worked as an English language teacher and a freelance bookkeeper.  When I am not writing, I am making music, backcountry hiking, and contributing whatever I can to the many communities I could never do without.
