Hera's husband Robert Owen was the chief conservationist for Micronesia, Hera was the Director of the Palau Museum for many years. In 1974 after living in Palau at the Pacific Ocean for 25 years she published a cook book "Bat Soup and Other Recipes from the South Seas."

In her foreword Mrs. Owen writes: "The purpose of this little book is to pass on some of the recipes of foods that I have served in Palau that people have liked."
