Holland's personal website is list of works by or about American historical novelist Cecelia Holland.
She lives in Fortuna, California, and, once a week, teaches a class in creative writing at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, California. Holland has also published two nonfiction historical/biographic works, two children's novels, a contemporary novel, and a science fiction novel, as well as a number of historical essays. Most recently, she has completed a series of five novels set in the world of the Vikings, covering a period of about fifty years during the tenth century and following the adventures of Corban Loosestrife and his descendants. Starting with The Firedrake in 1966, she has published twenty-one independent historical novels covering periods from the middle of the first millennium CE up through parts of the early twentieth century, and from Egypt, through Russia, central Europe, Scandinavia, Great Britain, and Ireland to the West Coast of the United States. Cecelia Holland was born in Henderson, Nevada, in 1943 and started writing at the age of twelve. In this unstable system, the anarchist Paula Mendoza, an agent of the Committee, works to make peace and ultimately protect her people in a catastrophic clash of worlds that destroys the order she knows.
On the fringes of the solar system, in the gas planets, a strange, new, violent kind of human has evolved. Mars, Venus, and the moon support flourishing colonies of various political stripes. The society is an anarchy, with disputes mediated through the Machiavellian Committee for the Revolution. Two thousand years into the future, runaway pollution has made the earth uninhabitable except in giant biodomes.
