IN THE PRESS
Laura is an exceptional writer who has the ability to put the lessons she has learned in a way that feels warm and comforting as we move along on our own journeys. Along with her visually stunning words, we were touched by her reason for writing. In her own words: “Perhaps just one person may read these ponderings and stories, and feel less awkward, 'different,' or alone. Maybe in reading, one person will feel a little bit seen."
We couldn’t be more honored to be joining Ms. Holloway on her publishing journey.

Dancing With Demons: A Love Story is a lyrical and luminous memoir by Laura Holloway that grapples with profound questions such as:
How do we honor this precious gift of being human and the brief time we have on earth? What if we are among those whose hearts break with the pain of the world and have loved and lost one too many times?
What if we have walked through the fires of life, intimately knowing what it's like to dance with our darkness, yet sometimes wondering if it will swallow us whole?
A book for sensitive souls, big-feeling beings, animal rescuers, and lovers of the natural world, with remarkable emotional depth, Holloway pays poetic tribute to the exquisite beauty of life and the heartache of love, inviting us on an intimate journey through her own explorations and struggles.
By the final pages of Dancing with Demons, we embrace Laura's reminder that life's challenges do not get wrapped up in pretty packages but rather they come together and fall apart over and over again. And, dancing with that is the true mystery of life.

Dancing with Demons is quite possibly the most intimate look into someone's life I've ever read.
Told with heart-cracked-open honesty, Holloway draws you into the tiny world of her internal life and makes it feel as big as a universe. I laughed, I cried, and I saw the most private version of myself reflected back.
Who knew dancing with demons could be so thrilling.

It has been said that "one person's story is someone else's survival guide."
In craftly resurrecting personal memories for the sake of journeying through and towards her own healing, Laura Holloway has released the essence of what it truly means to walk your walk and talk your talk.
Just like in breathwork and meditation, it is the space between the exhale and the inhale that you surrender to the silence within. Where you are invited into universality, where all the answers reside.
As expressed within, "The pauses are stopping points for the moment, before continuing toward eternity." One question to ask yourself is, "what is truly holding me back from becoming the person I KNOW I am?"
Laura's Dancing with Demons: A Love Story will inspire you to fuel the fires of courage and bravery within (and with-out) you, so that you, too, may capitulate your inhibitions on a trajectory towards your own true self-authenticity.

BIO
Laura Holloway has been called a Goat Girl, Animal Queen, and a Warrior Poet; semi-feral, fierce, and unabashedly "sensitive." She lives amidst the forest outside a small mountain town in Colorado. She spends most of her time cleaning up after companion animals, frolicking through the woods, scribbling in her journals, and puttering around her farmstead sanctuary, daydreaming about butterflies and other magical beasts. She loves long walks in the woods with her pack of dogs, goats, llama, and the occasional enthusiastic cat, and never worries about looking like a total dork to her super-cool teenaged son. Laura aspires to master (and write about) the Art of Truly Loving Herself (really and for real), as well as loving this whole weird, wonderful world of whack-a-doodle Humanity. She also intends to lay off the chocolate, and to not take in any more cats. Dancing with Demons: A Love Story is her first proper book.
