GENRE: Coming-of-age

LOG-LINE: Angry and depressed after learning while at summer camp of his older brother’s death, a fatherless 14-year-old boy experiences renewed love of life through the mentoring of an empathetic counselor and his intense fondness for a girl at the camp next door.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bill Holland started writing screenplays back in 1978, and life has never been quite the same. After seeing Breaking Away, he became obsessed with getting a similar movie made, featuring the sport of cross-country ski racing. Sometime in the mid-90s he ran a script through HSSW entitled Fire in the Blood that explored the issue of blood-doping on the international race circuit.

It was also around this time that his soon to be ex-wife uttered these fateful words, “If I never hear the words ‘screenplay’ or ‘cross-country skiing’ again, it will be too soon.”

When not thinking about or writing screenplays, Bill has worked as a teacher of high school English and U.S. History, has been an editor, a speech consultant, and a free-lance journalist.

He’s also found time to be a reasonably functional father to five children, including his two daughters (17 and 21) with Grace, his long-suffering wife of 22 years. Though currently sojourning in Boulder, CO, where his youngest daughter attends Tara Waldorf Performing Arts H.S., Bill normally resides with the family’s five goats in Freeport, Maine.
