Gianni Holmes

Gianni Holmes is a romance author who never outgrew her childhood love of stories. She just started writing her own. She penned her first romance novel in seventh grade and never looked back. In high school, she was that girl: ripping pages out of her English exercise books to write her latest love story.

Today, Gianni writes swoony, steamy romance across multiple pen names. As Sage Abbott, she dives into heartwarming tales with a bit of the forbidden, and as Sohanna Gray, she leans into MF interracial romance.

She's best known for her fan-favorite series The Grimm Tales of Smoky Vale and The Taking Care series, two very different worlds, both full of complicated men, emotional moments, and unforgettable love stories.

When she's not writing, Gianni is a French and Spanish teacher with a background in Hispanic literature.
