Frank Turner Hollon was born on July 24th, 1963, in Huntsville, Alabama. At age five he moved to Louisiana where he graduated from Louisiana Tech University Magna Cum Laude in 1985 and then attended Tulane Law School in New Orleans on full scholarship before graduating in 1988. His first published novel, The Pains of April, was written in longhand in New Orleans at age twenty-four and stayed in a box until Hollon gathered the courage to send it out for publication twelve years later. After the publication of The Pains of April in 1999, Hollon wrote The God File which was selected as The Independent Publisher's Book of the Year in 2002, seemingly securing Frank Turner Hollon a following for his very serious literary novels. However, in 2003, MacAdam/Cage Publishing Company released Hollon's comic novel, Life Is A Strange Place, and it became clear the author was more interested in the freedom to write about diverse subjects and themes than financial success. The succeeding books have ranged from comic in nature, to religious, a Children's book, legal and psychological mysteries, and full circle back to literary with the publication of his ninth novel, The Book of Neil, in 2012. Life Is A Strange Place was adapted for film in 2010 with the release of Barry Munday starring Patrick Wilson, Judy Greer, Cybill Shepherd, Billy Dee Williams, Malcolm McDowell, and Jean Smart. The film based on Hollon's sixth novel, Blood and Circumstance, is scheduled to begin filming in October, 2012. Creative Artists Agency continues to represent Frank Turner Hollon's books. Frank Hollon lives in Baldwin County, Alabama, with his wife and children and practices law at Hoiles, Dasinger, Hollon, and Copeland in the small town of Robertsdale, Alabama. Show less «
