HL Tinsley

HL Tinsley is the pen name of professional blogger and creative writer Holly Tinsley.

Based in the UK, she is a published author of Fantasy, Gothic Horror and Grimdark fiction as well as a regular contributor to gaming, TTRPG and pop culture websites and blogs. Her work has been featured in Horla Magazine online and by the British Fantasy Society.

Between 2019 and 2020 she had over twenty articles published in the UK, Cyprus, Scotland and Australia covering everything geek-chic from board games to movie releases. She also serves as an editor for her regional talking newspaper, a non-profit initiative bringing local news to the visually impaired.

A keen gamer, what she lacks in skill she more than makes up for in enthusiasm. Brought up on a literary diet of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, she also cites Scott Lynch, Nicholas Eames and Brent Weeks as being among her favorite authors.

Holly currently lives with her husband, teenage son, two cats and a perpetually confused Romanian rescue dog who took three years to teach to lie down on command, and who now never does anything else.
