The Old Patriarch Tree is set in Holmes' native Wyoming, in Grand Teton National Park. The Dueling Oak relates tales of New Orleans since its founding. Her best-known work, Alamo Tree earned The Daughters of The Republic of Texas' June Franklin Naylor Award for The Best Children's Book on Texas History. The unique use of easy reader combined with Reader Guidance footnotes helps the adult reader enrich the content as the child's development warrants. Holmes' new series, The NOT Scary Books, use fantasy and familiar experiences to create tear-free, fear-free adventures out of first-time visits. The unknowns of the doctor, the dentist, daycare, and other dreaded outings have changed from fearful, to fascinating and fun. Mrs. Holmes has a background in emergency medicine and public administration prior to choosing a career as a health science educator.
