V. S. Holmes

V. S. Holmes is an international bestselling author of dark, speculative fiction, from fast-paced hard sci-fi to slow-burn gothic fantasy and everything in between. They have two finished series: STARS EDGE: NEL BENTLY BOOKS, a queer archaeological sci-fi, and the dark fantasy BLOOD OF TITANS. Smoke and Rain, the award-winning first book in their fantasy quartet, became an international bestseller in 2018. Travelers is also included in the Peregrine Moon Lander mission as part of the Writers on the Moon Time Capsule. In addition, they write game content for Stone Blade Entertainment and published short fiction in several anthologies. 

They are currently working on a folk horror, inspired by death, sex, and their Frisian and Celtic heritage.

Beyond the keyboard, they live in western Massachusetts, and like to garden, feed the birds, and watch the river change with the seasons. V worked as a contract archaeologist for over a decade before becoming an electrician. V is a trans guy, among other flavors of queer, and married to a fellow archaeologist. They enjoy quiet evenings with food, games, and films with a sweet lab-rottweiler, Rory and the not-so-quiet brown mutt, Millie.
