Somebody Ought To Be Crying Launched

Fellow Author Offers New Book

J. B. Hogan is one of those talented regional authors that somehow gets lost in the greater book market. He has written- and lived- from California to the East Coast and down to Arkansas, writing those well-crafted books about living in the world as a young, restless man.

At one time Hogan was neighbor to Barbara Kingsolver.

Check out his latest book, Somebody Ought To Be Crying, January 4 at the Fayetteville Public Library — or, in case you missed it, in the video on YouTube.

Published by Nancy Hartney

Nancy Hartney's second novel, The Blue Bottle Tree, is in process. A Southern gothic tale of two women, written along color lines, concludes with a twist. She will blog about the novel over the next year preparatory to publication. Her debut novel arrived on bookshelves and online February 2021. 'If You Walk Long Enough' is a tale of a soldier's return from the Vietnam War to his South Carolina tobacco farm, a place that is no longer home, the people strangers. Her previous two short story collections set in the South—'Washed in the Water: Tales from the South' and 'If the Creek Don’t Rise: Tales from the South' continue to be available in bookstores and public libraries. In addition to fiction, Nancy writes poetry, historical pieces, and magazine articles. She often serves as writing contest judge, workshop leader, and presents author readings at libraries and book clubs. A member of Oklahoma Writers Federation, Ozarks Writers League (MO), Tallahassee Writers Association (FL), Ozark Creative Writers (AR), and two local prose critique groups and one poetry critique, her books are available in print, e-format, and audio. She is developing a pod cast for her blog posts.
