Holly Bennett |
|
|
Holly Bennett is an award-winning novelist of series fiction and novels for teens. She is editor-in-chief of Today’s Parent magazine's special editions, heading up the birth and babies beat. She and her husband John have three boys and read untold numbers of wonderful children's books with them while they were growing up. But Holly's not sure what flipped the switch and turned her from a person who loves reading stories to a person who loves writing them. She now describes herself as addicted to fiction writing: "I just find it enormously fun and satisfying work." Born in Montreal, Holly lives in Peterborough, Ontario with a houseful of musicians (everyone in the family but her) and a nice quiet dog.
