Shanna Hogan was a journalist and true crime author based in Arizona. Her four nonfiction books — Dancing with Death (2011), Picture Perfect: The Jodi Arias Story (2013), The Stranger She Loved (2015), and Secrets of a Marine’s Wife (2019) — cover murder cases with Arizona connections, drawing on her background as a local journalist to provide detailed, reported accounts.
Hogan’s catalog also includes the Big Ideas Simply Explained series, a DK publishing reference collection of thirty-six volumes covering subjects from psychology and economics to mythology and physics. These large-format reference books, published between 2010 and 2024, represent a different facet of her publishing work.
