SJI Holliday

Susan Jennifer Inglis, otherwise known as SJI Holliday is a British writer best known for the writing of psychological thrillers. The eldest of four siblings, she grew up in the small Scottish town of Haddington, East Lothian, where she worked in her family’s publishing and newsagent business before she left to go to college at St Andrews Dundee. At Edinburgh and St Andrews, she majored in statistics and microbiology, before proceeding to work as a pharmaceutical statistician for sixteen years. Her first novel was “Black Wood”, the first of the Banktoun series of novels that went on to achieve massive popularity and critical acclaim. Her short stories have been featured in several notable anthologies and she has been shortlisted for the Crimefest Flashbang awards, the MR Hall Crime Writing Competition, and the CWA Margery Allingham awards. She lives in London with her husband amidst a teetering pile of books that she just cannot find the time to organize. When she is not writing she loves to explore and walk, listen to rock and grunge music from the 90s, and sing with her cool crime writer friends that call themselves “The Slice Girls”. She occasionally writes flash fiction, and does some editing, and review pieces for Shots Magazine and FlashFlood Journal.
