About Holly Jahangiri
Holly Jahangiri is the author of Trockle; A Puppy, Not a Guppy; and A New Leaf for Lyle. She draws inspiration from her family, from her own childhood adventures (some of which only happened in her overactive imagination), and from readers both young and young at heart. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.

This year, May 1 happens to also be a Sunday, and Marian reminded me that 2022 is a bonus year—five whole Sundays! I’m excited.

She stood, touched her toes and did several side-bends. She studied her laptop screen, contemplating her next move. She was no Chess Master, but playing Chess with her friend Andrej helped her to clear her mind and practice her strategic thinking. It relaxed

Blog post“It can all change in the blink of an eye.” Marianne sighed, waving around the quaint little village square at the new shops. Global brand names, like Kettle & Crock, or La Belle Epoque, carrying Chinese-made goods, had begun to elbow out the colorful little local merchants and their local crafts, giving the landlord more than they’d asked for in rents.

An eclectic collection of short stories that delve into the shadowy corners of the human mind, occasionally illuminating them with a flashlight tinted with a wicked sense of humor.
Mitchell Allen says, "Holly Jahangiri casts a spell whose imprint remains long after the final page has been turned."
Alan Jobe writes, "I found that I was as impressed by Jahangiri's fast paced story telling and believable characters as by the artful twist she gave to each story. I highly recommend Innocents and Demons to anyone who enjoys fast-paced stories with good writing and believable characters."
