FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I'VE HAD A LOVE FOR WORDS.
My first book, "The King's Heir" was published in 2013 when I was 18. I had started writing it when I was 12, and publishing it became my biggest, brightest dream. The feeling that came with achieving that goal when I was barely 18 influenced me in a way that nothing else ever had. I knew that, no matter what I did in the future, writing was woven into the very heart of who I was.
In 2021, I wrote the story that reminded me of who I am.

2021 was the hardest year of my life. And yet, in the midst of trying to find myself amidst grief and heartache, I found inspiration to finish a book that had been on my heart for quite some time. "A Song of Light and Sorrow" breathed light and life back into me in a time when I needed it most.
Sorrow took my hand and led me to discovering myself again.

In the years since publishing my first novel, I had somehow lost a bit of my verve for unabashedly pursuing my dreams. Navigating life in your twenties can be rough, and I know I'm not the only one who sagged under the pressure of simply trying to find a place in the world. I often wonder if it's the curse of the artist or creative minded to feel like their desires for life are too much or childish.
But after "A Song of Light and Sorrow", I realized that maybe, just maybe, I needed to stop pushing my childish dreams to the side. I remembered 12 year old me, the one who hoped and prayed that grown-up Hogan had somehow found a way to live a life that she had always wanted. A life of words and characters, of fantasy worlds and genuine adventure. A life of living.
I decided to live the life I had always dreamed of.

My passion reignited and confidence strengthened by completing ASOLAS, I decided to step fully into my own dreams.
And I haven't looked back since.
Thank you for joining me in my journey of self-discovery and creativity! I hope you always find the light even amid the darkest of times. It's always there—you just have to trust the process.
