Holly Bennett

I'm the author of six young adult novels, all published by Orca Book Publishers. My new novel, The Match Girl, will be out in Spring 2017.

My books include: the Bonemender fantasy series, two novels inspired by Irish mythology (The Warrior's Daughter and Shapeshifter), and most recently a ghost story named Redwing. Yes, I do seem to be inexplicably drawn to the magical, the mythical, and the just plain weird!

I'm also and editor and non-fiction writer, and worked for many years at Today's Parent magazine, especially on the "birth and babies" publications. I live in a smallish Ontario town with my husband and a lovely lab mix mutt, and years of reading aloud to our three boys (including The Lord of the Rings, THREE SEPARATE TIMES) encouraged my love of children's and YA fantasy. I love espresso coffee, being in the woods (preferably overlooking water), travelling, singing in a choir, kayaking, and playing Scrabble.

My website, www.hollybennett.ca, has more information about both me and my books.
