	Welcome I’m Terry Holland and I write. Fiction, mostly, but not only. My first novel – “An Ice Cold Paradise” – is out to better reviews than sales and the second, "Big Shoulders Shiver," will arrive in late 2009, which is some months away as I write this. The two are, if the fates allow, only the beginning of a long series of the escapades of Harry Pines who lives in Hawaii, on the same real estate where I once did, and roams from there to do whatever is necessary when his friends, and the friends of his friends, are in trouble. "An Ice Cold Paradise" takes Harry to the icy mountaintops of northern Idaho and 'Big Shoulders Shiver" unfolds in Chicago in cold December. The third of the series is coming right along. It's called "Warm Hands, Cold Heart" and takes place over thirty-six hours on the freeways of Los Angeles, in the studios of the pornography industry in the San Fernando Valley, and in the hills of the horse country south of L.A., down by Bonsall. I’m told a web site works best when the creator has a clear goal in mind for it. That makes sense and I do. My goal is to get as many readers as I can. To enable that, I’m providing a free download of “An Ice Cold Paradise” right up there where it says “Free Downloads.” Selling the book is fine, of course, but more than sales, I want readers. I wouldn’t mind if someone stole it if they promised to read it. Although I’m not sure how much you can trust the promise of a thief. When you're doing the download, you can also find an excerpt of "Big Shoulders Shiver" and, more, a free download of my screenplay "Wounded Lion," which is soon to be a major motion picture, if "soon" can be interpreted with great elasticity. Since this site went up I've become real fond of blogging as a way of distributing other things I've written and things I feel like saying. All that is, as you guessed, at the "Blog" button. Thanks for dropping by. Say hello. Stay a while. Enjoy my work. Read why I think the Kentucky Derby will be run in Lexington one year soon and why Obama lost at least ten points off his approval rate in the Gatesgate debacle.

Welcome
