📚️ 🚀 Book launch!! Join us to celebrate Hollie Adams, Victoria Hood, and Jennifer Moxley at The Stage Door and Hollie's brand new short story collection Dear Humans.

A cinema-loving professor of anthropology grows a unicorn horn after cat-sitting for her work crush. A rag-tag team of amateur sasquatch hunters spends fifty years in the Pacific Northwest making a documentary about what they haven’t yet seen. At the suggestion of her therapist, a social media influencer comes clean to her ex-husband in a letter she may or may not send. In a near-future world in which even entry-level positions require graduate degrees, lifelong best friends find their relationship changing when they take on a third roommate to make ends meet. A grieving woman travels solo to Costa Rica to participate in a surf camp where she meets an enchanting older man.

The thirteen stories in Hollie Adams’s Dear Humans bounce between the fantastic and the hyper real, the otherworldly and the mundane, all featuring Adams’s signature dry wit and characters plagued by their desires–their desires for connection, for romance, and for a better world.
