Biography
Personal life
Holland was born on November 1961 at Folkestone, Kent, England. The daughter of Sheila Coates Holland (best-selling novelist Charlotte Lamb) and classical biographer, ex-Times journalist Richard Holland, she has two sisters; poet Jane Holland and artist Charlotte Holland, and two brothers Michael Holland and David Holland; both musicians. [4] [5]
Holland suffered epilepsy briefly in her teens and had to leave Wanstead High School, London with a handful of O levels at sixteen. Subsequently educated at home by her parents, who owned a private library of over 50,000 books, she moved to the Isle of Man with them in 1978 and, in 1980, began training to write at her mother's side.
Holland has travelled extensively, writing and researching in 56 countries and 5 continents, many of which feature in her books. She has lived in England, the Isle of Man, Hong Kong, Australia, Holland, France and the United States (Texas and San Francisco).
Writing career
Because of the speed of her writing and the success of her books, Holland was nicknamed Mouton Cadet, a wordplay on Lamb's Daughter, by publishing brothers Alan Boon and John Boon, who then ran Mills & Boon. This industry nickname was later reported in the non-fiction book The Merchants of Venus: Inside Harlequin and the Empire of Romance by Paul Grescoe (1998). Holland was living in San Angelo, Texas in April 2008 when the FLDS Mormon-splinter sect case shot to international prominence and, as a Contributing Journalist, wrote about it for the San Angelo Standard-Times sparking a news debate as well as giving interviews to Texan news agencies including San Angelo Live. In late 2008, Holland moved to London, England where she worked as Publication Director for a national celebrity magazine empire for 2 years. [6] [7] In June 2011, she was appointed Editor-in-Chief of La Creme Magazine. [8]
