Scott J. Holliday was born and raised in Detroit. In addition to a lifelong love of books and reading, he has pursued a range of curiosities and interests, including glassblowing, boxing, and much more. He is the author of Punishment, the first book in his series featuring Detective John Barnes; Stonefly; and Normal, which earned him recognition in INKUBATE.com’s Literary Blockbuster Challenge.Holliday's latest book is Machine City, his second novel featuring Detective Barnes.
Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. Holliday's reply:
Shutter Island by Dennis LehaneVisit Scott J. Holliday's website.
I tend to return to the stories I love so well. Shutter Island is one of those. Lehane's writing has a beautiful, lyrical quality that I enjoy and the story is such a twisted little gem that it's hard for someone like me to resist. I would recommend the book for anyone who's interested in writing as an example of writing quality, voice, plot, pace, and thrills.
