While at the Times-Dispatch, Owen helped create "inSync," a section for teen readers. Owen wrote the book "Gen X TV: The Brady Bunch to Melrose Place," which was published in hardcover by Syracuse Univeristy Press in February 1997. The paperback edition was published in March 1999.

Owen's work has also appeared in NetGuide magazine, he is a member of the Television Critics Association and a native of Vienna, Va. (last stop on D.C.'s Metro subway Orange line in the heart of Fairfax County). He is a 1993 graduate of Syracuse University.
