About

In 2014, Holly Nasello wondered “how can I make a difference in the world?” She started as an EMT, working on an ambulance in 2015 in order to help those in emergency situations. Soon she graduated to paramedic and has served multiple communities in northern and central Arizona. She started chronicling her emergency calls on her blog and quickly branched out to book reviews.


Holly has provided reviews for independent authors through Voracious Readers Only and Reedsy Discovery. She is a passionate bibliophile with a personal collection of over 250 books (and growing). Her favorite books include The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury and Dracula by Bram Stoker.


Holly has ghostwritten for many clients, covering a wide array of categories, becoming an expert in search engine optimization and informative articles. In 2024, she and her family welcomed her son into the world, completing their family. Holly still happily resides in Arizona with her partner, three kids, and their dogs and cats.
