M.C.A. Hogarth is both an author and artist whose work spans science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction. She is best known for the Peltedverse, a far-future setting where humanity has used genetic engineering to create dozens of new species, collectively known as the Pelted. This shared universe connects many of her series, from the military sci-fi of Alysha Forrest to the political space opera of Princes’ Game and the psychic healing drama of The Dreamhealers.

Beyond the Peltedverse, Hogarth has created a number of independent worlds. Her Jokka fiction, found in Stories of the Jokka and The Stone Moon Trilogy, explores a tri-gendered alien species and their complex social dynamics. The Fallowtide Sequence is a fantasy series involving dragons, while The Blood Ladders Trilogy takes readers through a portal fantasy with elves. Her more recent Haley and Nana series is a cozy LitRPG about a grandmother and granddaughter playing video games together.

Hogarth also writes non-fiction for creative professionals. From Spark to Finish covers the writing process, and Business for the Right-Brained offers business advice for artists and authors. She often illustrates her own books, and her graphic novel The Three Jaguars draws on her experience balancing creative work with the business side of independent publishing.
