Freelance writer and book reviewer. Wife of writer Chris Holm. Lover of Maine. Meaner than she looks.https://bsky.app/profile/niidasholm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/niidasholm.bsky.social/post/3lpn3jl5yts2jSo thrilled that PW asked me to do this Q&A with the brilliant, charming, incredibly talented Caroline O'Donoghue.
