The Paranormal Cafe welcomes Author, Columnist, and Paranormalist, Alexandra Holzer to the airwaves. www.hauntingholzer.com
Alexandra Holzer is a member of organizations such as the SCBWI, Firstwriters.com, IMDBpro.com and Absolute Writers.com. Her father is the original ghost hunter, published Author Professor Hans Holzer, Ph.D of 146 titles in the genres of parapsychology, the supernatural, religion and healing and some fiction. He is most known for the adaptation of his book 'Murder in Amityville' for the film Amityville II: The Possession, Ghosts, America's Haunted House, The UFOnauts, The Journey of the Magi and Murder in Amityville: Fact or Fiction-a compilation of all three books he had written on the case.
Holzer was recently inducted into Marquis Who's Who in America 2008 62nd Edition, following her father from the 70s. Her first title (Lady Ambrosia-Secret Past Revealed) had two field nomination's, one with Young Adult Literature by the ALA and another to the IHG (International Horror Guild.)
Her mother is an accomplished artist, Countess on the Baron side to the Russian Buxhoeveden Family with relations to Catherine The Great. Their published family book is written in German entitled, 'Riga 1201 Buxhoeveden 2001.' Holzer's 98 year old Parisian grandmother, Rosine Claire (married to the count of Russia), has herself published 'French Gourmet Vegetarian', 'New French Gourmet Vegetarian' and 'French Vegetarian Cosmetics.'
She studied at some of the best prep schools in New York City, including 'The Lycee Francais', 'The Fleming School' and 'The York Preparatory School.' In 1992, after graduating high school, she attended 'The Fashion Institute of Technology'(F.I.T), earning two degrees in Fine Arts and Advertising. Her mother also attended F.I.T. when Alexandra was a teen. It was here where Holzer became a self taught Graphic Designer working for small to big travel ad agencies. In 1999, she quit her job as a graphic designer for a conference publishing company and bravely left to begin her own freelance business naming it AHG Design.
Alexandra Holzer's second book, 'Growing Up Haunted-A Ghostly Memoir' alongside her fathers newest title, 'Spirit Connection-How The Other Side Intervenes', have published as father and daughter for the first time under the same house. A rare haunting moment. 'Growing Up Haunted' is being read by a documentary filmmaker generating vast interest in it's story. She already knows who she would want to play her father.
In the interim of the new book, Holzer had created her monthly column named 'Spirit Talk' for the Paranormal Awareness Society based in Florida who has a radio show and since then was picked up from UFO Digest.com based in Canada and at www.alienseekernews.com from the mid-west.
While filming for New Wave Entertainment Production Company in April of '07 for the re-release of the film Poltergeist, she went on with her father as paranormal experts and authors released October 2007.
Host notes: I wish Alexandra well with her recent passing of her Father. I enjoyed having Alexandra on, and wanted to focus more on her own work and perspectives in the field. She did well on the show and I think has established herself well. Best wishes Alexandra.
Thanks Mom.
