Cecelia Holland
Cecelia Holland is an American historical novelist.
==Biography==
Holland was born December 31, 1943, in Henderson, Nevada, but grew up in Metuchen, New Jersey, where she started writing at age 12, recording the stories she made up for her own entertainment. From the beginning, her focus was on history because "being twelve, I had precious few stories of my own. History seemed to me then, as it still does, an endless fund of material."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Cecelia )〕
Holland attended Pennsylvania State University for a year, and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965 from Connecticut College, where she took a course in creative writing and was encouraged by poet William Meredith and short story writer David Jackson. Jackson took a novel Holland wrote for his seminar to an editor at Atheneum, and her first novel, ''Firedrake'', was published in 1966. She had just dropped out of graduate school at Columbia University to work as a clerk at Brentano's in Manhattan. Holland has been a full-time professional writer ever since. ''Firedrake'' was actually the fourth novel she had written but the first published; ''Jerusalem'' is the final, mature version of one of these earlier ones. Pieces of the other two also have made their way into her published work.
As of 2011, Holland lived in Fortuna, California, a small town in rural Humboldt County, California. She has three daughters and five grandchildren. For ten years, Holland taught two three-hour creative writing classes a week at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, California. She was visiting professor of English at Connecticut College in 1979 and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1981–1982.
