edit data

CJ Holmes lives in England, where it's cold and damp, and it's always raining - which provides her with enough time to write stories about magic, fantasy and romance. She'd like to escape to somewhere warm but that might mean that she spends too much time sunbathing and not enough time writing books.

She lives in a quaint English cottage which would have one of those idyllic gardens if her fingers weren't the opposite of green. Fortunately, her husband and children don't seem to mind that almost everything she tries to grow ends up dead. She enjoys drinking wine and gin, which conveniently coincides with her love of reading and writing, as well as running and watching bad TV shows. You have been warned....

C.J.’s Quotes

“There’s nothing left inside me and I’m an exhausted, hollow shell. My chest collapses onto the kitchen countertop and on any other day, the ice-cold marble would force me awake. Tonight, I’m out of luck and I’m utterly screwed.”
― C.J. Holmes, Isekai Veteran: Outlander

“Colour spreads heat across my face as my eyes fixate on the swirls in the marble counter again. I'm giving him everything he wants. A reaction. Any reaction. Because no matter how much I try to deny it, my reaction shows him that I care.
"I hate you."
"No, you don't."
"You don’t know what I'm feeling."
"You're angry, hurt and betrayed. But you do not hate me, love. And you never have.”
― C.J. Holmes, Isekai Veteran: Outlander

“Regret is what happens the morning after the night before. I regret going out for drinks after work. I regret not saying no to the third, fourth or any of the subsequent cocktails I enjoyed. I regret forgetting to cancel my alarm and I regret that I’m unable to call in sick to work. Most of all, I regret that I’d taken the promotion six months ago”
― C.J. Holmes, Isekai Veteran: Outlander

“Look, fairies and Roman gods don’t exist, and even if they did then I’m not the long-lost daughter of Fortuna – and I am not going on some treasure hunt around London for some trinkets.”
― C.J. Holmes, Isekai Veteran: Outlander

“Help yourself,” Raegel grins as he grabs several of the miniature strawberry tarts, presumably hoping to bribe me with cake. “These strawberry things are particularly good.”
