Hollie Anne Marsh is an Australian author who lives in Barcelona, Spain with her partner, baby boy, and horse, Frieda. Hollie has been riding since she was a little girl, enjoying activities such as Pony Club, showjumping, eventing, and trail-riding in the great Australian bush. Hollie lived in England for almost ten years where she had two horses and trained them for dressage. The Sweetbriars series is inspired by all the special moments Hollie spent with horses... good, funny, and challenging moments!

Hollie's dream was to create a fun new equestrian book series with three addictive characters, like the successful Saddle Club or Baby Sitters Club. A series that is 'coming of age' and set around horses in the beautiful English countryside. Hollie hopes that readers will not only find the books fun to read, but they'll be able to relate to the characters and help the 'horse dreamers' learn more about horses.

Horse dreamers is a term Hollie created to refer to a huge group of girls all over the world who love horses. These girls might not own a horse, but ride in a lesson every week or every month or go on the occasional trail ride. But they love to read about horses - thus the success of The Saddle Club.
