I’m utterly thrilled to share the cover and details of my new book coming this summer all the way from Ballycove…
Well, hello spring! I know, it’s contentious, but as far as I’ve always been concerned, the first day of February will always be the start of spring. This year, it feels as if we are being eased out of the winter months. The grass is dry, the evenings are stretching and there are the first […]
It is this shoring up of good and bad contemplating and making peace with them that gives our human experience meaning and if we’re lucky, it gives us hope for the year to come
I am absolutely delighted to share that THE GIN SISTERS PROMISE has been longlisted for the Easons Favorite Book of the Year. I am in there with some absolutely stellar reads and some huge names, but it’s nice to be included and I think says as much about the lovely readers who go out and […]
Delighted to share that we have made history this morning with THREE Faith Hogan books in the top one hundred selling books rank. Yesterday, On The First Day of Christmas was included in the BookBub daily newsletter which is partly to thank for thrusting it from around No 180 all the way up to number […]
Well, hello there…. I’m just dropping in here very quickly to share with you the brilliant news that today THE LADIES MIDNIGHT SWIMMING CLUB made it to number one in the overall UK Kindle Bestseller chart! I am so excited – I have spent the day walking on cloud nine – in spite of everything […]
Finally, it’s here and I’m really excited to share the cover for my new book – The Gin Sister’s Promise. This is a very special book, one that I really enjoyed writing and while it’s out next May – yes, that’s 2022 – I can hardly believe I’m saying that, the publishers have allowed me […]
Well, it’s been a while! So, what’s been happening in the Hogan House since I last dropped in here? Well first off, we’ve have the summer holidays – it started out like a seemingly endless summer, with days planned here there and everywhere – in the end, most of it has been spent in the […]
It’s almost impossible to believe it, but we’re nearly there. The Ladies Midnight Swimming Club will be dropping onto kindles this Tuesday morning and in book shops a week later. I know if you’re following me on social media, you probably know all you need to about this book. Elizabeth, Lucy and Jo – THE […]
Well, what can I say? It’s finally here – thanks to my publishers and Easons for finally sharing the cover for my new book! What do you think? I’m totally in love with it, I just want to dive in there next to Elizabeth, Lucy and Jo…. Of course, the cover reveal is, in many […]
It seems like quite a while since I’ve dropped in here – I suppose, like everyone else, the last few months have taken me a little by surprise. It feels as if we’ve suspended half the year and now we’re emerging from our shells to summer holidays without quite having earned them. We’ve been lucky. […]
I think we’re all looking for uplifting things to lose ourselves in at the moment and if you’re like me and the best form of escape is between the covers of a book then today could be your lucky day! Delighted to share that there are five signed copies of The Place We Call Home […]
Delighted to share that I’ve signed a further two book deal with Aria Fiction (Head of Zeus Publishing) and the news was broken in Bookbrunch yesterday! Here’s a copy of the article – I’m pleased as punch to be remaining with Aria and very excited about their plans for further building the brand with a […]
New Year – New Book!!
Well, lots of exciting things happening here at the moment! I’m just back from London and meeting up with my agent and the lovely J girls – which is always fun! I met with editors too, and this is always a bit of a treat – because I have the loveliest editors – hardworking and […]
Introducing…. The Place We Call Home I’m delighted to share the cover of my new book – THE PLACE WE CALL HOME. I’m really excited about this one… it’s the story of a family drawn together to celebrate the anniversary of their woolen mill business. Corrigan Mills is one hundred and fifty years old and […]
It’s hard to believe that it’s a week ago since I headed off to Roscarberry – the far end of the country for the National Conference of Network Ireland! What a weekend – I already knew that our Mayo ladies were pretty special, but this just cemented it for me. I was honored to have […]
Summer has finally arrived now that The Girl I Used To Know has dropped into the bookshops! Last Friday I called into Eason’s in Ballina to sign some of their books and met up with the girls there, as usual there was plenty of chat and catch up – really if only to pop in […]
So, at last, I can share the new cover in the Corbally Crime Series….. Ta dah…. Cover Reveal – up for Pre-order Now! Silent Night – by Geraldine Hogan As you can see, it’s a very different book to the contemporary fiction I’ve written before. This book moves away from a focus on friendships, family, […]
We had a wonderful night in Knockranny House Hotel, Westport for the Network Ireland Gala Awards – this was a glitzy glamorous affair with the Mayo Ladies really turning up the style. It was awards night also, and I was honored to be nominated among some really talented and successful entrepreneurs for the Arts category. […]
I haven’t been here for a while because this last few weeks have been a bit crazy busy! All in a good way, but then yesterday I had the mixed blessing of coming down with what I guess is the flu, with a bit of a chest infection thrown in for fun 😉 I say […]
So, there’s been something bubbling away for quite a while here in Hoganville – since late last summer, there’s been a rumbling of something new, something exciting and… yep, I guess we’d call it a bit of news! Like so many parts of publishing, even letting this cat out of the bag takes time… But […]
As part of a blog tour – you get asked to do lots of different things. Just after our last tour finished, Jill invited me to participate in her Five on Friday slot and I just thought I’d add it in here – it’s a little different…. Which 5 pieces of music/songs would […]
I think every writer approaches reviews with a certain sense of wariness – after all, not everyone likes the same things and that’s probably just as well. I often think of myself and Mr H here – we are a divided house when it comes to music at times – of course we both love the […]
Even by my standards, the blog tour for What Happened To Us? is huge! There are over forty stops with bloggers reviewing, hosting excerpts, guest posts and Q&A’s. Thanks are due first to the bloggers for taking the time and making space for the book on their blogs, but also huge thanks must go to […]
Just a quick note on the eve of the publication of my fourth book… I wanted to give a big thank you too all of the lovely people who have put up reviews on Net Galley. For anyone reading this who doesn’t know about this super review site – it’s a publishing portal, where reviewers and […]
I’m not so sure that there are the right words to express my thanks to all of the lovely bloggers who have been kind enough to join in the blog tour this time round. Special thanks to all of those up to read and post reviews – it means so much to every writer and […]
I haven’t been on here much of late, but I just thought I had to share this… It arrived earlier in the week and it’s a book trailer for What Happened To Us? I love it, but what do you think? I suppose, it’s probably better if you let me know after you’ve read the […]
From The Irish Independent Life Magazine Weekender Faith Hogan’s Sligo Sunday Independent (Ireland) 6 May 2018 In conversation with Sarah Caden My love affair with Sligo started in the early 1990s, when I was transferred there with Penneys. Later, I worked for the Collooney ’98 celebrations. No matter what else was going on in my […]
Okay, so hands up – I’ve been really quiet here recently… I have a good excuse though, or rather a number of them: First off, my poor old trustworthy lap top finally gave up the ghost and I had to replace – any of you who know me, will realise that there is nothing I […]
Obviously, the weather is much too nice to be putting up blog posts, but today was overcast and dull and it is Sunday, so I’ve spent the whole day reading – oh joy! Now, of course, the book is finished (thanks to Marcia Willett for another lovely read!) and I’m pottering and realizing, it’s been […]
This article appeared in the Daily Mail and was again featured on the Marian Finnuncane Show, it seems everyone loves Holly! This Life Faith Hogan. As far as dogs go, we’ve always been a bit of a divided house. James proudly professed himself to be ‘not a dog person.’ It’s […]
I’m so happy to be putting this up on the site – we are having a book launch!!! Yes, finally, Secrets We Keep, my second book is making its way into the bookshops. First stop Ireland, then… This is a book that I just loved writing and for people in my own town, it’s a […]
It’s been a bit hectic around the Hogan house of late, all for the good. It seems juggling three books – one writing, one editing and Secrets We Keep being transformed into trade paperback is not quite enough to keep me on my toes. Over the last few weeks, the Girl I Used To Know […]
I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, and perhaps a little late, but something special happened at the end of 2017. In the world of reviewers and bloggers, each year the bloggers list their best of. We get to see what really tickled our favourite reviewers and very often, it’s an opportunity to go back […]
I wrote the following piece about love and marriage for The Daily Mail (25th November 2017). This Life Faith Hogan My wedding day was probably the best-kept secret ever! It was not that we feared being over-run by paparazzi, nor indeed was there any legal obstacle to our union. No, rather it was […]
At this point it almost feels like I’m at home with Karen on her blog. I really couldn’t be in a nicer spot, Karen has the very best books around! She was kind enough to come on board for the Blog Tour for THE GIRL I USED TO KNOW and she invited me to write […]
So, I know I’ve been rather quiet here for the last month, but the lovely Melanie at Aria Fiction has organised a great blog tour for the launch of The Girl I Used To Know, so I’ll be popping up everywhere and anywhere in the next few weeks and trying to keep a track of […]
At the begining of this year, one of my favorite Cork people decided to set up a very special spot on her popular books blog called – #IrishWritersWeds – so was born an opportunity for writers of all shapes and sizes, ilks and traditions – to contribute something of their journey to a shared page. […]
Well, do I have news for you? I certainly do, December 1st – just a few weeks away, sees the release of my third book with Aria Fiction. It’s called THE GIRL I USED TO KNOW and it will be published in digital format first so, it’s kindle and kobo and whatever you’re having yourself […]
