Jenni Ogden grew up in a country town in the South Island of New Zealand, in a home bursting with books and music. Armed with NZ and Australian university degrees in zoology and psychology, she took up a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked with H.M., the most famous amnesiac in history, before returning to an academic position at Auckland University. For the next 24 years she immersed herself in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, as well as traveling extensively and writing about her patients' moving stories in two books, "Fractured Minds: A Case-Study Approach to Clinical Neuropsychology" and "Trouble In Mind: Stories from a Neuropsychologist's Casebook". In 2015 she was awarded the Distinguished Career Award by the International Neuropsychological Society. Jenni and her husband now live off-grid on a spectacular island off the coast of NZ, with winters spent traveling and at their second home in tropical Far North Queensland. She now concentrates on writing fiction and her first novel, "A Drop In The Ocean" will be published on May 3rd, 2016.

Jenni Ogden recommends
Eat and Get Gas (2023)
Jodi Wright
"Jodi Wright's uncanny ability to place the reader at the very center of 13-year-old Evan's head captured me, from page one. Evoking 1970's America and the long reach of the Vietnam War, Evan's confused, loyal, angry, lonely, and forgiving coming-of-age as she finds her place in the heart of a colorful cast of characters at 'Eat and Get Gas' kept me from sleep right up to the perfectly pitched ending."
The Best Part of Us (2020)
Sally Cole-Misch
"A story so evocative you can smell the lake and hear the loons. . . . The Best Part of Us draws in lyrical strokes the many shades of grief and the healing magic of place."
Queen of the Owls (2020)
Barbara Linn Probst
"Obsession, naivety, seduction, desire, self-deception, love, and courage?all emotions subtly and powerfully revealed in this story of Elizabeth, mother, wife and intellectual, as she follows her idol, artist Georgia O’Keeffe, along a path to herself. A thought-provoking novel that readers will want to savor and share."
