SB Writers Conference Speaker: Mary Hogan

This year’s Santa Barbara Writers Conference (June 18 to 23) features 5 authors as the conference’s evening guest speakers.  Tuesday’s Speaker, Mary Hogan is the author of Two Sisters, praised by bestselling author Adriana Trigiani, and, Left, a love story about a woman who slowly retreats into a fantasy world as she loses her once whip-smart husband to dementia. Her compulsively-readable historical novel based on the Johnstown Flood of 1889, The Woman in the Photo, tells a story of class and catastrophe that resonates today. Her previous novels include the young adult titles, The Serious Kiss, Perfect Girl, and Pretty Face (HarperCollins). Married to veteran TV and stage actor Robert Hogan until his death in 2021, Mary lives in New York City with their Catahoula Leopard rescue dog. There will be a book signing after the talk.
