His varied life experience includes (among other things) wheat harvesting, cotton ginning and truck driving --all of which are woven throughout his often humorous and always interesting stories. One of his main characters, Chapo, is actually a life-long friend of his from Mexico who first came to West Texas from Mexico as the young son of migrant workers who worked for Roger's uncle. Their bond and hilarious antics make for great reading --especially at a time when there seems to be only negative press about immigration and the United States' southern border.
Roger has a keen sense of right vs. wrong, and when he received some privileged information about a crooked sheriff whose documents were sealed, he felt that this story should be told --even if it was told as fiction --and he chose this subject as the core of his first book. He is weary of crooks and criminals being presented as heroes to our young people, and thinks they should instead be depicted as the buffoons they are.
His keen sense of humor and skills as a storyteller make his writing interesting, suspenseful and just plain fun to read.ver menos
