Hello everyone! My name is Jennie. My brother, Adam, (
About Me
I am a 38-year-old mother of one. My son recently turned 16. (Yikes) I live in the exciting state of Illinois. I've lived in the country for just over three years now and I LOVE it! I have a dog, four cats, and nineteen chickens. (We would've had an even twenty, but one met its fate at the talons of a great horned owl.)
I am a book designer at the University of Illinois. I primarily design the covers for the books we publish. Occasionally, I get to design the interior layout as well. I love my job! All the covers I've done so far can be seen on my website at https://www.jenniferholznerdesign.com/. I am always adding new ones, so check back often!
Things I Like
I consider myself a little different, at least based on the random, weird things I like. For one, I am a HUGE fan of the Dukes of Hazzard — so much so that I have a tattoo on my back of the General Lee. Can't say I've ever ran into anyone else who had that!
I also love the Muppets — not so much the Sesame Street ones, but the good old Muppet Show ones. I own several books about them and about Jim Henson. They just don't make TV shows like that anymore. I also love the Henson movies "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth." Fun fact: David Bowie was not Jim Henson's original choice for the part of Jareth, the Goblin King. He was originally considering Sting, Prince, and Michael Jackson for the part. It was one of Henson's sons who suggested he use David Bowie. Thank GOODNESS for that! I had the biggest crush on Bowie as the Goblin King. ;-)
Anyhow, that's just a few of the things that make me, me. I hope to get to know you all and I look forward to setting aside time to post on my blog and read others' posts!
Oh, and to verify I'm really me, here's the link to my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jfish78
