Holly S Roberts is the USA TODAY bestselling author of 50 books and counting. She's a retired homicide detective and currently owns a self-defense studio where she teaches women to kick serious butt while honing her skills through kickboxing and JKD. When she isn't writing or training, she's in her garden growing what she eats. A certified health nut after too many years of poor health, Holly practices what she preaches. She also enjoys curling up with a good book and relaxing with her rambunctious dogs and her teenage sweetheart who remains just that even after 40 years of marriage.
