Hollie Ann Henke

Hollie is a jill-of-all-trades and master of a few. She is your typical introvert attempting to live a simpler life in a complicated world. She has two grown children who live in a much warmer climate. When she is not researching her family's history, you might find her writing, taking some photographs, digging in the dirt, doing a little yoga, or with her nose in a book. You also might find her walking along the Ohio & Erie Canal with her other half and their two dogs, Ben and Gus - a grouchy, old mixed-breed and a spoiled Siberian Husky. If you can't find Hollie, she's probably at the library.
