bio ~ rogenna brewer
When an aptitude test labeled her suited for librarian or clergy, Rogenna joined the Navy. It was off to boot camp, followed by her first duty station, Naval Air Station Midway Island. She started in the CO's office and gravitated toward the Chaplain's where duties included operating the base library. "You can see where I'm going with this... I loved working for the Chaplain. We traveled to smaller islands where support services were not available. I've crossed the international date line twice while never stepping foot outside US territory."
Other duty stations included the Office of the Chief of Naval Personnel, Washington, DC., Naval Intelligence Command, Suitland, Maryland and Naval Hospital, Orlando, Florida. Rogenna attended the University of Maryland Overseas Division and Southern College. She met and married her husband while serving her country. "The best part was that brief period of time when I out ranked him."
After receiving an Honorable Discharge she continued to serve as a Navy Wife and admits to being jealous of her husband's travel. "While aboard the USS Enterprise he visited seventeen countries and was there for the filming of two major motion pictures (Top Gun and Hunt For Red October). There's a reason for the slogan; Navy Wife, toughest job in the Navy. It's like being a single parent. We have three boy's--one for each deployment.
With their Navy days behind them, the family currently resides in Colorado. Before becoming published with Harlequin Superromance, Rogenna was a bookseller and a reviewer. The one constant in my life has been the need to surround myself with people and books. As much as I hate to admit it, that aptitude test had real insight into my personality.
