Bruce Rodgers

You can't write if you don't live, as one saying may go. Bruce Rodgers has done many things, working class things mainly: a substitute teacher in city schools, a correction office at a county jail, a military stint, use-your-hands-and-back jobs, a run for public office, magazine freelancing and an editor of a news weekly. A life of characters and situations. "Ain't No Jazz in Kansas City" is his first fiction novel.
