Long Bio

Holly May Cormier is a Canadian writer and the author of the Memphis Series, a gripping domestic thriller trilogy. Based in Toronto, Ontario, she lives with her partner, daughters, and a crew of beloved pets. A lifelong storyteller, Holly has been creating since childhood—writing songs, poems, and exploring narrative in all its forms.

Though she earned a degree in E-Commerce Management with a focus on marketing communications and online audience building, Holly has always balanced her professional path with a deep love for the creative arts. Over the years, she has worked as an actress, songwriter, model, and web designer—embracing a variety of artistic expressions that continue to influence her voice as a writer.

A devoted music lover, she’s known to dominate a game of “Name That Tune” and delights in discovering emerging artists. Her literary influences include Chevy Stevens and Margaret Atwood, whose mastery of suspense, character, and atmosphere continue to inspire her own work.
