Meet Teaching Artist Tamara Hogan

Posted Jun 8 2022

In addition to writing books, I also teach adult creative writing workshops at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, MN.

The Loft recently interviewed me about reading, writing, and life…and if it wasn’t already completely obvious, I’m quite a contrarian.  🙂

Playing some catch-up…

Posted Apr 5 2017

I’ve been so focused on re-releasing my Underbelly Chronicles books that I’ve forgotten to  provide links to some blog posts I’ve written at my primary blogging spot, the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood.

From Feb. 24, 2017:  Not So Fast…  A blog post about so-called ‘slow’ writing, and the ‘cult of productivity’ that some feel has arisen in Romancelandia.

From Mar. 31, 2017: Stranger than Fiction  A  post about how truth can be stranger than fiction , especially when it comes to inadvertently revealing pieces of yourself in your work.     

I’d love it if you swing by. Visitors – and new regulars – are always welcome!
