Jacqueline Ogburn

Jacqueline K. Ogburn, in spite of a lifelong fondness for cake, has never worked in a bake shop or on a cruise ship. She has worked in a cigarette factory, a fish camp, a publishing house, a state agency, and a university library. A North Carolina native, Ms. Ogburn received a bachelor's degrees in English and Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. After a brief stint working in a nursing home, she moved to New York City. For ten years, she worked in book publishing, primarily as a children's book editor. She is the author of eight picture books. Her previous book, The Magic Nesting Doll, received a starred review from "Publishers' Weekly" and has been translated into Greek and Korean. Her writing career has outlasted three day jobs and counting. The Bake Shop Ghost combines her passion for stories and dessert. Her family's favorite recipe for birthday cake is the one included in the book. Ms. Ogburn, her husband and two daughters live in Durham, North Carolina, in an 80-year-old bungalow with too many books and a deaf cat.
