New author and daughter of of a well-known sci-fi author, Tina Hogan Grant stops by to talk lobster fishing, drug addiction, and taking the leap into stories fictionally based on her own lifetime of experiences.

​Tina Hogan Grant was born in England and grew up in a small town on the Yorkshire Moors. She is the youngest daughter of science fiction author, James P. Hogan. After moving to California, she became a commercial lobster fisherwoman, fishing off the coast of Southern California for ten years with her husband Gordon.  

For fourteen years, she’d had a notion of writing her debut novel “Reckless Beginnings”. But it wasn’t until the sudden death of her father in 2010 and a battle with breast cancer a year later that she made the decision to get it done. Seven years later, she finally completed it. She is now working on a sequel titled,  “Better Endings.”

She currently resides with her husband in the small mountain community of Frazier Park in Southern California. Together they enjoy anything that involves the outdoors, fishing, hiking, kayaking and riding quads.

​Tina can be found at her website, www.tinahogangrant.com, and through social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and​ Instagram.
