Kim's Book Nook
S.M. HOGBEN
AUTHOR
S.M. Hogben was born in England and lived through wartime. Her favourite pastime was the love of horses. She enjoyed spending her time riding, doing dressage, steeplechase, and the hunt. At age ten, she migrated to Australia after her mother passed away from breast cancer.
Sue was a dedicated mum, supporting and guiding her three children through the minefield of life whilst juggling the demands of full-time work and home life.
Later, she became a doting grandmother to nine grandchildren: five girls and four boys, who in turn delighted her with great-grandchildren. Sue showered all of them with love, discipline, strength, and the courage to strive for the stars and universe.
As a mighty gum tree supports and sustains life in nature, Sue nurtured the lives of her family. She opened their minds to new experiences, supported them through heartache, and celebrated their triumphs.

"When my mum passed before publishing her written work, I decided to take on the challenge. I believed in her poetry and wanted to leave a legacy for her three children, nine grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
The hunt began to find a publisher who agreed her work was worth publishing. What a learning curve! Now I am out of my comfort zone but still moving forward with her books."
