Author of emotionally charged domestic thrillers and character-driven women’s fiction. Step into Holly May Cormier’s haunting world, where fiction meets real-life domestic true crime. Featured by Kirkus Reviews Magazine— April 2026 Indie Author Spotlight Edition.
I recently sat down with Beyond the Pages Blog for an interview about my debut novel, Memphis. Here’s a brief glimpse into what we discussed. A woman on the run. A family steeped in secrets. A past that refuses to stay buried.
In this imagined character interview, Memphis Monroe speaks candidly about surviving a toxic, trauma-bonded relationship, the cities that shaped her resilience, and the difficult choices required to break cycles of generational abuse. Her reflections are raw, compassionate, and unflinching — offering insight not only into her fictional world, but into the lived realities of many women navigating survival, identity, and healing.
I’m so excited to finally share this news with you — the audiobook edition of Memphis is officially live on Audible and Amazon, and it is narrated by me, the author.
