Holly Sheidenberger is a psychological thriller author whose work has been described as “gritty,” “addictive,” and filled with “jaw-dropping revelations around every corner.”

Before turning to writing, she worked as a stage actress, where she developed a fascination with complicated roles and the dark intricacies of human behavior.

She brings that experience to her stories, which are fueled by an insatiable curiosity about why people do what they do.

With roots in misty Seattle and sunny Los Angeles, she now writes from the blazing Sonoran Desert.

In a home filled with music and story, she shares her life with her husband, Hollywood composer and saxophonist Todd Sheidenberger, and their four daughters.
