With their Navy days behind them, the family currently resides in Colorado, where Rogenna grew up. Before settling in to writing, she was a bookseller and a reviewer for several years. "The one constant in my life has been the need to surround myself with people and books. I always wanted to be a writer/adventurer, but that aptitude test had great insight into my personality. And now I go wherever I want, whenever I want, through my writing."
