Holly Yoder DeHerrera grew up travelling the world as an Air Force brat. She developed a love for different places and people all over the globe. Her novel, The Orphan Maker's Sin, grew out of her experiences living in Turkey during the Gulf War. Her midwestern, Amish and Mennonite salt-of-the-earth heritage birthed her middle grade The Middlebury Mystery Series. Holly married a Colorado man and they enjoy adventures with their five home-schooled kids. Holly won the 2018 Writer of the Year award from Good Catch Publishing. She teaches creative writing for a Homeschool Academic Program in a public school district in Colorado Springs. In Holly's free time, you'll find her watching cooking shows, or writing at a local coffee shop with a white mocha and a smile. To read her blog, log on to hollyyoderdeherrera.wordpress.com.
