Kit Holliday is an Aussie author living in the US (which puts her much closer to the natural habitat of guinea pigs and capybaras—hooray!). She loves sparkly things, silly jokes, and carrot cake, and puts as many of these in her stories as possible. When she’s not dreaming up magical worlds, she spends her time going on adventures with her fabulous family and her cheeky dog.
