The Hippies Who Meant It (2015) tells the story of young Americans and Canadians who dropped out of the mainstream, armed themselves with optimism, naiveté and a little weed, and homesteaded in rural Nova Scotia during the 1960s. The Laughing Princess (Acedrex Publishing, 2014), illustrated by Shirley MacKenzie, is a collection of 12 interrelated fairy stories about dragons, involving magic, poetry and pirates. Inspired by a voyage by traditional schooner to the south coast of Newfoundland, The Astreya Trilogy (Cortero Press, 2011) chronicles the adventures of Astreya, a young man searching for his identity and his father’s mysterious past. The trilogy is an adventure and love story. The three books are: The Voyage South, The Men of the Sea and The Wanderer’s Curse. Hamilton holds a PhD in English and has taught at Canadian universities including Acadia, Simon Fraser, and the Universities of Calgary and Ottawa. He has worked as a writer, editor and communications officer for the public and private sectors. He lives with his wife Katherine in Chelsea, Quebec. Visit www.seymourhamilton.comver menos
