Marjorie Owen

Marjorie Owen has been writing since childhood when she wrote short stories as gifts for her friends. In 2011 she published a novella of historical fiction set in her corner of the mountains of North Carolina. She is a native of the southwestern tip of the Blue Ridge and resides there in a region of spectacular waterfalls. Her surroundings furnish much inspiration for additional creative endeavors. She also paints finely detailed primitives and miniature landscapes. Her other interests include choral singing and individual performance. In the fall of 2011 she released a vocal CD of sacred songs. Her life is rounded out by outdoor activities plus part time work in an open air retail store and managing a small campground.
Her articles and writings have appeared in The State magazine and Carolina Country, as well as local newspapers. She maintains her own website where historical articles of local interest are showcased.
She pursued primarily a business education and worked in the public and private sectors in administration and accounting. She also worked a number of years as a real estate agent focusing on farms and land.
