Her fantasy adventure series, Phantasmic Wars, has been described by readers as “completely unique” and “very imaginative.” When she isn’t writing, she reads, teaches, drinks coffee, and goes on adventures with her family. She lives in Minnesota with her husband, their two kids, and her favorite fluffballs, Mack and Kevin.

Quotes by El Holly (?)

“Breakups are like broken noses; they both suck. A lot. And they both give you that eyes-stinging, face-numbed-with-pain feeling.
Okay, I’ve never had a broken nose. But I imagine it has to feel similar to this.”
― El Holly, Finding Fae
