About me
H.P. Holo grew up in a family where it was dangerous to say, "I'm bored." She's also an incorrigible smart aleck. So when her parents told her to fix her boredom by reading a dictionary, she did. And then, just to be extra sassy, she began writing novels that required them to keep that dictionary handy.
Her first ode to smart aleckery was The Wizard's Way (with Jacob Holo), a tale of awkward steampunk wizards and dapper swordfighting pugs, and as much a love letter to steampunk as sassery. She followed it with another sassy love letter in the redonkulous Monster Punk Horizon series, this time to all things monster hunting, collecting, and befriending.
Her most significant ode to smart aleckery, though, is the entirety of her second, spicy pen name, Edie Skye. H.P./Edie wrote the mecha harem fantasy Titan Mage as a joke, expecting only her husband and a few Gunpla nerds to read it—so naturally it became an Amazon bestseller. In the process of writing the Titan Mage series, though, she also discovered that while she likes writing smart stuff, she also likes writing smut stuff. Pretty spicy smut stuff, too, 'cause if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it hard. If all her books are also love letters, then this series is a love letter to sexy people in giant robots and the chili emojis they get up to.
On both her pen names, she likes to spin fun (and funny) fantasies about rollicking adventures, absurd monsters, the bonds of friendship, and general nonsense.
When not writing, she enjoys procrastinating, fangirling over terrible movies, arguing that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is, in fact, the most perfect movie ever made, and having Too Many Fountain Pens. She lives in South Carolina with her husband, the judgmental ghost of her former cat/boss, and a new kitten whose hobbies include furniture parkour at 3AM, climbing up door frames, screaming for no apparent reason, chewing on books, and trying to lick the occasional light bulb. (Yes, he is orange.)
