Biographie de Holly Valero
Born in Miami, Florida in the early 1960's, Holly Valero grew up on a 100-acre, Pennsylvania sheep farm and half-way house for psychiatrically-labelled chickens. The only lesbian in a one-lesbian town she spent several years as the night shift DJ at WTTC Radio, a 500-watt AM/FM station with an audience largely comprised of dairy cattle. Radio took her to Concord, New Hampshire, where she became involved in early efforts to change the laws regarding gay and lesbian rights.
It was there she began writing a regular series for the local gay and lesbian community newspapers. A move to Portland, Maine and a change in careers (newspaper, then publishing) led her eventually to the World Wide Web where she established her own web and graphic design business in 2000, called HollyWorks, and more recently, a digital publishing company. Holly Valero is a writer, artist, programmer and publisher living in Southern Maine with her partner, Janet McKenney.
