(Wherein I speak in the third person like a complete weirdo)
Holly was born with a story in her head waiting to get out, and not much has changed since. She spent the bulk of her childhood buried in books—that is, when she wasn’t writing her own. Her earliest professional writing credit came at age thirteen, when she co-wrote scripts for a weekly local access realtor show. She’s adamant that this sounds a lot cooler than it actually was.
Though she had enough self-awareness to realize that few authors can claim they write for a living, Holly was determined to make telling stories a part of her vocation. In 2008, Holly graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor’s in English and an emphasis in Creative Writing. In 2012, she was hired by Samhain Publishing as an acquiring developmental editor, and she remained with the company until it closed in 2016.
Holly lives in Missouri with her husband, with whom she shares many wacky adventures, none of which keep them out past 9 o’clock at night. Above all, Holly loves losing herself in vast, fictional worlds, so she makes a point to do so whenever she can.
When Holly isn’t working on a client’s manuscript, she can be found penning her own under the pseudonym Rosalie Stanton, writing fanfiction, reading all the things, or gaming with friends.
