About the author
Mary Hogan is the bestselling author of Two Sisters and the historical novel, The Woman in the Photo. Previous novels include the young adult titles, The Serious Kiss, Perfect Girl and Pretty Face (HarperCollins).

A personal note from Mary: First, let me express my immense gratitude for the support you all have given me. It's truly a privilege to wake up each morning and have the opportunity to do what I love to do. Second, my new novel, Left, is a love story that's personal as well as fictional. Inspired by my life and a friend's experience, I created a tale in which the main character's fantasy life helps her cope with an upsetting--though ultimately uplifting--reality.
Left is a departure from my last novel which was historical fiction. To those of you who expect another historical story, thank you in advance for allowing me to tell a different sort of tale.
All my best to you,
Mary

So now, stepping from the limo on the day before the Academy Awards, press pass in hand (Keith's admonishment "You lose it, you might as well go home" solidly in her head), Susanna is racking her brain on how to get the scoop of the event. The Scene staff enters the Kodak Theater and heads to the Press Room to set up equipment for after the winners receive their awards and arrive from the Winner's Walk.
Keith lets Susanna off to explore Hollywood for twenty-four hours prior to the start of activities the following afternoon. Less than an hour after given her freedom, Susanna loses her press pass.
What follows is Susanna's crazy attempts to get back in (as in "not out") the barricades. Without the press pass, security will not let her cross the velvet ropes. Taking advantage of an unsuspecting Tom, their on-call limo driver, Susanna hatches a plot so off the wall, it just may work.
Without giving away her hilarious misadventures, know that the story unfolds quickly and with lots of laughs. Only Susanna could find herself in such a mess, when really she had the best intentions the whole time.
The story is light, quick, and relevant to current times, with mention of "Charlie Wilson's War" and current popular stars such as Keira and Johnny. For anyone obsessed with the stars, or interested in the behind-the-scenes workings of the Academy Awards, this is definitely the book to grab. Ms. Hogan describes the scenery of the Kodak Theater vividly and puts the reader in the frantic backstage goings-on. Reading Susanna Sees Stars is not necessary to enjoy this book, but simply provides background information.
And for more Susanna adventures, stay tuned for Susanna Covers the Catwalk ...
