Emma Holly was born in New Jersey and grew up in Baltimore, later moving to the midwest 'when the city I was living in started to get too scruffy' (Berkeley/Jove). She always wanted to be a writer, and wrote for over a decade before her first sale--Menage, to Black Lace. She wrote five erotic novels for Black Lace, and a novella ("The Love Slave") for Red Sage's Secrets, Volume 4, then sold her first historical romance (Beyond Innocence) to Berkley Jove.

Holly's erotica has always had a strong underlying romance, even when the story is about bondage or a menage a trois. In 2000, after her Berkley launch in mainstream romance, the Black Lace titles were reissued for the romance section of the bookstore.
