Holly Haeseler
My Story
Holly Haeseler is a thriller writer born in Miami and raised in the suburbs of Clearwater, Florida, where she learned a love for the sea… and for the state’s robust insect and reptile populations.
She graduated from Stetson College of Law as a member of the school’s elite Trial Team and studied International Finance and Emerging Markets in Tallinn, Estonia. In New York, she worked at Goldman Sachs and as a prosecutor in Queens (the most linguistically-diverse region on Earth), where she found helping victims of crime rewarding.
A fascination with nature and food led her on several immersive culinary adventures hosted by chefs known for their literal application of field-to-table – especially the hunting and butchering of wild game. These experiences were the impetus for her debut novel, FAIR CHASE.
Having settled on the west coast, she enjoys snorkeling, hiking, animal photography, and beekeeping. As a Journey-level graduate of UC Davis’ California Master Beekeekeeper program, she serves on the board of her local beekeeping society – the only place she can talk bees with people who will actually listen.
Holly lives in America’s Finest City with her husband, two cats, and three teens, who are indoctrinating her into the virtues of TikTok.
