Kaya Quinsey Holt, a Toronto native, is a bestselling Canadian author whose books have sold in 12 countries, been translated to 6 languages, and been opined for audiobook production.
While completing her master’s degree in psychology, Kaya began writing her first novel, Paris Mends Broken Hearts, which was self-published and later acquired by a traditional publisher. Her writing journey has been inspired by her journeys across the globe, from the bustling markets of Marseille to the vineyards of Tuscany, where she has gathered inspiration for her books.
Since then, nine of Kaya’s books have been published, including her bestselling Monaco series (Maybe in Monaco and A Monaco Minute), which integrate her passion for the French Riviera and Formula One.
In February 2024, Kaya started The Good Chapter Weekly, a weekly newsletter that provides readers with thoughtful writing prompts that help to frame their upcoming week.
Kaya now resides in Ontario with her husband, their son, and their feisty Pomeranian-Shih Tzu. She is currently working on her next novel.
