Holly Newhouse has a passion for portrait and nature photography, is an avid book reader
and book cover illustrator who creates and designs most of her own book covers.
In her free time, she loves to come up with new adult and adult paranormal fiction
books and creating new worlds to live in to share with the world. She is further
more a single mother of eight beautiful children. Three daughters in heaven and
five children here on Earth. She also loves to hear from her book fans and loves
taking the time to get to know them as friends as well as readers and loves
autographing books when she can, for her fans and readers of her books at book signings,
through online book events with great fellow authors and through the mail. She also wants
to give her sincere thanks to some amazing authors who have not only inspired her in her
writing but who have inspired her in her life as well and they are Author Angie Hudson,
Author Judy Matthews, and Author Josephine Harwood as well as her brilliant best friend
and editor, Toni Lewis who understands how she writes and thinks more than anyone else, and who
spends countless hours generously editing her books for her. Without these ladies Holly
would be completely lost and would not be where she is today. So thank you from the bottom
of her heart to these amazing women and thank you to a new amazing author, Nancy Farkas
for sharing her story with Holly through her writing and for touching her heart, soul and life.
It will never be taken for granted and never be forgotten!

The Twin Souls is a vivid and intense novel comprised of two stories set in two Native American tribes. It is full of suspense and drama and is about the difficult circumstances under which lovers meet and the challenges they face later on due to sadistic people who target the heroines. There is a deeply spiritual way in which Holly Newhouse depicts her heroines. They both are extremely self sacrificing, caring and also brave. Their male counterparts are protective archetypal heroes with soft hearts.
The twists in the story are gripping and the situations are very believable, making this work potentially popular in the historical and cultural genres. The narrative emphasises the theme of twin souls, their instant recognition and desperate desire to be with each other against all odds. Newhouse paints romance effortlessly in such a way as to allow it to be realistic, passionate, bold and transcendental.
There is a wonderful closeness and merging that is achieved, and readers interested in close romance will enjoy the special qualities conferred on the characters, such as being able to feel each other’s emotions and thoughts, and being able to transfer pain when needed. Newhouse also handles love from other relationships, such as brotherly, fatherly and motherly love, with sincerity, realism and compassion.
The book is artistic and spiritual without compromising on suspense and passion. This is a wonderful combination and I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a bold cultural romance which is not pretentious and yet contains important ideals regarding the spiritual concept of male and female twin souls.
