Holly Jennings grew up in small-town Ontario with a teacher mom who showed her one of the most important places in the world: the local library. But her father wasn't without his influence too, introducing her to Star Wars, Star Trek, and many other wonderfully geeky fandoms. Through them both, she became a lover of sci-fi novels.
After obtaining her degree in psychology from the University of Ottawa, she worked for several years in administration and business before making the jump to her first real love: storytelling. Through kind and constructive critiques of her stories, she learned she has a special knack for writing "sci-fi action movies in book form." More often than not, she puts her characters' martial arts skills or combat training to the test through battles with robots, VR and more.
Her debut novel ARENA released from Ace Books in 2016 and won the American Library Association's Alex Award. By day, she's an editor for a financial comparison website. In her spare time, she enjoys playing video games and studying writer's craft.
Originally from Canada, she lives in Michigan with her husband.
