Holly Hill Mangin is an English literature teacher at an international school in the south of France and a freelance copy editor at Fresh as a Daisy Editing. Her book, The House on the Lake, was a gold medal winner in the 2021 Wishing Shelf Book Awards and a finalist for the 2021 American Fiction Awards. And Within These Walls, published in August 2023, is a 2023 finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. Both novels have been translated into French.
Always ready to laugh, Holly can be serious when the need calls for it. She lives with her husband and their two kids a stone’s throw (okay, more like half an hour) away from the French Riviera, and she finds that reading and writing go a long way in procrastinating learning French.
