Holly Craig lives on the Western Australian coast. She spent her childhood on boats and on Rottnest Island, inspiring her second novel The Rip, and her debut #1 bestselling novel, The Shallows. She is also the author of the Audible Original Mayday. The beach and river were her playground and have shaped the settings in her stories. Holly is an English teacher and now teaches adults how to write their novels, preparing their manuscripts for publication through The Write Club.
