Polly Holyoke has been imagining stories since she was in fifth grade. When she isn’t writing, Polly loves reading, camping, skiing, scuba diving and hiking in the desert. She lives in Colorado with two rescue dogs and a nice husband who tolerates piles of books all over their house. Her new middlegrade fantasy series, SKYRIDERS (coming from Viking Childrens, Feb. 2023) tells the story of Kiesandra Torsun, a brave young courier and her flying horse, N'Rah. They may be the only ones who can save the Empire when the dreaded chimerae invade again. SKYRIDERS was inspired by both the Pegasus myth (Pegasus and Bellerophon fought a terrible three-headed chimera) and the courageous young riders of the Pony Express. Her debut middlegrade novel which is still available, THE NEPTUNE PROJECT, is the story of Nere Hanson, a girl who can talk to dolphins and who leads a group of genetically engineered teens fighting to survive in the sea. Polly was thrilled when this book made reading lists in TX, OH, MD, FL and HI, and when kids in Florida voted it their favorite book on the Sunshine State Young Reader's Award list. THE NEPTUNE CHALLENGE (Neptune Trilogy Book 2) was published in 2015, and THE NEPTUNE PROMISE (Neptune Trilogy Book 3) was released December, 2017. She thinks the best parts of being an author include meeting her fans, going to work in her sweatpants and getting paid for daydreaming!
