Mary Jane Holt is the author of From the Corners of my Heart, What IS Love? You Are Somebody and I am, too! and Malignant EMOTION!
Mary Jane retired early from a nursing career in 1986 to respond to a lifelong yearning to "just write." She began a weekly newspaper column that would become an award-winner the following year and founded a community health magazine in 1988 which she published for 12 years. She has been honored by The Georgia Press Association, The American Heart Association; The Mental Health Association of Georgia and The Carter Center. Today, as a motivational speaker and community liaison for Alpha Internal Medicine in
Whether Mary Jane Holt is talking to you or writing a newspaper column, a work of fiction or non-fiction, a feature story, or poetry, she is consistently true to a distinctive motivational voice. Her unique speaking and writing style comes straight from a heart that knows how to touch and challenge... the heart of the audience with whom she so easily and intimately connects! From a brief talk, or workshop, to a week-long retreat or event, your business associates, office staff, private group, club, church or civic organization will appreciate Mary Jane's influence.
I would love to have the opportunity to visit with you and pass on many valuable life lessons that countless individuals have entrusted to me. These wonderful people have shared not only through their living but through their dying processes as well. Because it is such a shame that so few of us ever get it "right" until we face our own mortality, I left the nursing profession in 1986 to use my pen and speaking ability to help others learn to do it sooner. Please click on WORKSHOP I or II (at left) for a brief preview of day long programs. When asked to do a keynote I frequently take requests or suggestions regarding the content of my talk; however, my favorite topics are: "Life is ALL about Choice and Attitude!" and "Surviving Life's Labels!" - mjh

What people are saying about Malignant EMOTION
"With Malignant EMOTION, award-winning author Mary Jane Holt has penned a beautifully written and deeply spiritual tale of life, love and death and all that's in between. It is an uplifting and inspiring work that speaks to the true meaning of friendship. I highly recommend it." - William Rawlings, MD, author and physician (www.williamrawlings.com)
“Malignant EMOTION truly describes the roller coaster of emotions a cancer patient has... I could not put this book down. It was so real. It gives you excitement and then peace.” - Glenna Thornton, Breast Cancer Survivor
"Malignant EMOTION gave me more insight into the female psyche than anything I have ever read and I have been an avid reader all my life! That is by no means saying I fully understand women because nobody does, but I think I understand them a little better now." - Paul Loth, Retired Marine
"Fantastic! An excellent portrayal of friendship! - Olivia Huff, High School Senior
“I have never been so mesmerized by a story line. It was brilliant how it flowed in and out of the hidden, yet so apparent life lessons throughout the book. I especially loved the twist at the end.” - Tommy Brandt, Award-winning Inspirational Country Music Artist (www.tommybrandt.org )
T hrough the web of life portrayed in her novel, Mary Jane Holt conveys the importance of each individual, each thought, each act, each word or look. Then she allows these little things to fade into the mist as life focuses on what is even more important - true love. She uses words to skillfully paint a picture of love - God's love reflected by each of us as we become willing to incorporate it into ourselves. Malignant Emotion is a story of overcoming those things which bind us, and freeing the spirit, as we learn to look and listen beyond ourselves. Mary Jane's book reminds me of my husband Cliff's words after a recent near-death experience, "God took my hand and then one finger, and very carefully he guided my hand and dipped my finger into the ocean of love. And it was more wonderful than words can ever tell or than the human mind can ever imagine!" Our offenses are many, and they are hurtful and sinful. However, God's love is greater and can overcome them all! This is a story of love and grace. - Doris Woodruff Hewitt, PhD
