John Rodgers

I was born in Albuquerque New Mexico in February 1964. I developed a love of books fairly early in my life. I first read The Hobbit when I was 7 years old, and the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, for the first of many times, when I was 8. I had a keen interest in military history, as well as science fiction and fantasy. My parents encouraged my love of reading by buying me pretty much any book I wanted. They might not buy me a $5.00 toy, but would not twitch at buying me a $30.00 book.

Some of my favorite authors are, J. R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Rudyard Kipling, Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clark, Terry Pratchett, Spider Robinson, and H. Beam Piper.
