To those of you who expect another historical story, thank you in advance for allowing me to tell a different sort of tale. Left is a departure from my last novel which was historical fiction. Inspired by my life and a friend's experience, I created a tale in which the main character's fantasy life helps her cope with an upsetting-though ultimately uplifting-reality. Second, my new novel, Left, is a love story that's personal as well as fictional. She is now a successful freelance writer and author of stand-alone titles The Serious Kiss and Pretty Face, as well as the Susanna series.

It's truly a privilege to wake up each morning and have the opportunity to do what I love to do. Photos: Ī personal note from Mary: First, let me express my immense gratitude for the support you all have given me. One family, two sisters, a lifetime of secrets. Mary lives in New York City with her husband, Bob, and their Catahoula Leopard rescue dog, Lucy. Mary Hogan’s powerful and poignant debut novel about two sisters - opposites in every way - plus their mother and the secrets and lies that define them all. Previous novels include the young adult titles, The Serious Kiss, Perfect Girl and Pretty Face (HarperCollins).
