Who am I, and why should you care?

I’m glad you asked! I’m R.E. Holding, and I write books.

I grew up in the Midwest in the 80s and 90s, often finding myself on the dirty low-pile carpets of Waldenbooks reading the newest Christopher Pike YA horror. I'm an avid lover of stories of all kinds, whether it be through books, movies, tabletop games, etc., with a particular penchant for the things that go bump in the night. A scientist by day, I write horror, sci-fi, and fantasy at night.

This is me.

In addition, I make soap. Occasionally I’ll post some soap related things on here if that interests you. I also have a shop, at LH Soaps & Sundries. Besides the soap, I may have a few physical copies of my books on the site that I will sign for you!

I’m kind of all over the place, so I love Linktree. Here is my profile.

As of 2024, I have 3 books out, with a fourth book baby on the way. If you’d like to check them out, you can follow the trail of links:

METAXYSM (A creature feature horror novel)

HILLBILLY VAMP! (A horror comedy novella)

REAPER’S GAMBLE (Book 1 of my urban fantasy series of novels)

Or, if you’re more of a low-content book journal kind of person, I also have a

MAGIC MAKER JOURNAL for all your fabulous ideas.
