Robert G. Rogers

Robert G. Rogers was born and raised with the red clay of Mississippi underneath his bare feet. Enlisting in the U.S. Army, his tour of duty took him to the Orient, where his keen mind was put to use in an intelligence gathering capacity with the Army Security Agency. After his military discharge, Rogers used the G.I. Bill to put himself through college, graduating from Mississippi State with a degree in electrical engineering and then moving to California to work in the Aerospace industry. While there, he graduated from the USC law school with honors. Rogers joined Rockwell International before opening his own practice. After passing the NY Bar, he earned an LLM from Tulane and has represented lenders, the SBA and the FDIC, handling conflicts like the ones Bishop Bone takes on in his murder mysteries.

However from time to time his roots catch up with him and he writes adventure stories like Lost Indian Gold for middle grade readers. And, when he's really looking back, he can put together something mainstream like the story of Jodie Mae, born poor, but determined not to die poor.

During book breaks, he handcrafts wooden bowls, plays tennis and mangles the guitar. Rogers lives where ever his books take him, but can usually be found somewhere in California or Mississippi.
