Guest, Hollis Jo McCullum

Ancient Cultures Expert To Fantasy Adventurer! Growing up a Navy brat gave Hollis an extreme case of wanderlust & paved the way to becoming an expert in ancient cultures, world traveler, and fantasy novelist. Living abroad as a child on the island of Guam in the South Pacific, gave Hollis a sense of fun and wonder at the world around her. Suffice to say that she loved her childhood so much so, that perhaps she never really grew up in her own head. This experience laid the foundation that...you should never stop playing in life. The colors are much brighter that way!

Taking that philosophy a step further, from ages 15 - 21 Hollis worked as a mascot for a small Japanese Animation Company, doing cosplay (costume play) and quickly fell in love with it. Who doesn’t want to dress up as their favorite characters, then go hang out with all of your friends who are also dressed up as their favorite characters?

In 2006 she lived in the Czech Republic and got internationally certified as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Once proficient in Czech & Italian, she can also speak smatterings of Spanish, Japanese, and French. She has visited over 25 countries including Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, Egypt, Peru, Turkey, and South Korea. She has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

When her father retired from the Navy she met Ashley, her very best friend and more of a sister. One of the many activities they bonded over was playing Dungeons & Dragons. Twenty-five years later, they are still playing and creating wonderful adventures and characters in between their adult lives. One of the adventures was even the inspiration for her first novel, To Save a World.

Hollis graduated from Kennesaw State University with a BA in World History. Specializing in Ancient Cultures (particularly the Etruscans of Italy) & Medieval Europe. Much of her writing inspiration comes from history. She is working on her 2nd novel which is largely based on the Etruscans of ancient Italy.
