Holley Trent is a Carolina girl gone West. Raised in rural coastal North Carolina, she has Southern sensibilities but her adventurous spirit drove her to Colorado for new experiences. She writes romances with real–life humor and rural fantasy romances set in her home state.

Her protagonists regularly fall victim to her odd sense of humor and find themselves in improbable situations (with happily–every–after outcomes). Holley's cast of characters tends to swear, drink and do a fair amount of carousing, but they're generally well–intentioned and obey all laws and ordinances. Usually.

Holley is a member of RWA and Colorado Romance Writers. She honed her critical reading skills at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's English department, but learned to tell a story from her big sister whose fantastic fibs during childhood left Holley agape and agog.
