Holly grew up travelling the west coast of the US and Canada in a coffee-and-cream GMC campervan, and has lived in Vancouver both as a girl and young adult.

After living between Australia and the UK for ten years, Holly has been based in the Yugambeh region of southeast Queensland since 2020, where she wrote The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding in her “office,” a vintage caravan named Frenchie. Returning to Vancouver to celebrate the Canadian publication of her second novel is a dream come true.
