About me

Gender Female
Occupation writer/actress
Location Chicago/Naperville, Illinois, United States
Introduction Been writing ever since I learned to read at age four. A former writer of magazine and newspaper articles (focusing on personality profiles and travel), I presently have four published books available. The first is "Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Gift of Christmas", in which my story, "Our Spirit of Christmas", appears. Released in 2010, it is available through the Chicken Soup website, as well as select bookstores. The second published work (2015), co-authored with my husband, R.J., describes our unique careers in the early decades of Walt Disney World. It is entitled "Together in the Dream", available through themeparkpress.com. My first novel, "Ribbons" was published in May 2016. With my husband, we wrote a sequel to "Together in the Dream", titled, "Remembering the Magic", published in January of 2017. My "second career" as an actress and theatre director for much of my life, affords me many avenues for stories, blogs and plot lines. You can discover more about this on our combined website: www.rjogren.com.
Interests reading, traveling, theatre & film, my family
Favorite Movies I'm an avid movie fan so there are too many to list but, if I did, at the top would be "Casablanca", "Love Actually", "Finding Neverland", "Shadowlands", "Something's Got To Give", "An American In Paris" and "Top Hat".
Favorite Music Big Band, musical soundtracks, classical, '50s & '60s rock, some jazz
Favorite Books Too many to list, but favorites include anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Dickens, or Catherine Cookson, and any novel where the characters are the plot movers! I also read lots of non-fiction and biographies
