Hollis Seamon

My new YA novel.


CORPOREALITY, Able Muse Press




"Seamon's use of setting and description is masterly. Her love of language is obvious, and anyone who likes to see language used well and strikingly will re-read some passages in the book. No wonder her stories have been widely published, anthologized and awarded prizes. "
-- Carole McDonnell in the online review Curled Up With a Good Book


"The lives of women and girls are unconventionally and richly explored in Body Work...keenly revealing the magical, uncanny and symbolic meanings in everyday life."
-- Publishers Weekly

My second collection of short stories, CORPOREALITY, will be released by Able Muse Press on January 31, 2013. It will be available from the press, from Amazon and other online stores, in Kindle and print editions.

In September 2013, my young adult novel, SOMEBODY UP THERE HATES YOU, will come out as one of the books in the Algonquin Books' new Young Readers line. Stay tuned for details.

My mystery novel, FLESH, came out in Spring 2005 and my first collection of stories, BODY WORK, in 2000.

Body Work is "a sexy, edgy collection of stories about women on the brink. There isn't a coward or a victim in the bunch."
--Doug Glover, author of Bad News of the Heart, Elle, 16 Categories of Desire, The Life and Times of Captain N, and other books.
