Shelly Hogan

Shelly Hogan grew up in the small town of Scottsville, Kentucky. Shelly credits her grandmother Elizabeth Hogan for her love of creating. Shelly credits her maternal grandmother Marie for her Pentecostal upbringing that planted deep roots of faith, faith that she would come to rely on through many trials and tribulations, which became a catalyst for storytelling in what some may call outrageous, but to Shelly, is a common way of southern living. When Shelly isn't at work at her nine to five job, busy baking cakes for her children and grandchildren's birthdays, or being the matriarch of her many offspring, she manages to steal away some time for a hot cup of coffee and her laptop to write. She credits her needy family for making her a fast writer. Shelly has a love for all things vintage, old turntables, seventies and eighties music, photo albums, places that hold sentimental value.
