Bob Rogers donates two percent of royalties from worldwide sales of his books to Crisis Assistance Ministry of Charlotte, North Carolina in support of its mission.  Please click Crisis Assistance Ministry’s logo below to learn how you can help. 
   
Since 1975, Crisis Assistance Ministry has served in North Carolina’s Mecklenburg County as the “emergency room” for families facing financial crisis who have nowhere else to turn.  Through Emergency Financial Assistance, The Free Store and The Furniture and Appliance Program, the agency provides assistance and advocacy to help families living in poverty regain control and move toward self-sufficiency.

Follow Will and Dena and agonize in each of their setbacks and celebrate their triumphs.  In Will and Dena, you will discover conflicts created for the young couple because of parental mate selection and racism in their community.  The same issues propel Will into combat in Italy as a US Army Buffalo Soldier.
   
Among the American historical figures that influenced and impacted their lives are: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Langston Hughes, General Edward M. Almond, Edward W. Brooke III, Lena Horne, A. Phillip Randolph, Billie Holiday, and Colonel Howard Queen. 
  
The next title (The North Americans: Isaac, Rachel, Alejandra, coming summer 2011) is set during America's Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Indian Wars and will continue a series of stories about combat soldiers and the women who love them.
 
I'll use this site to introduce books of historical fiction and stories about contributors. From time to time on this site, you will find "further reading" lists containing research items (books, music, magazines, letters, web sites, photographs, artifacts, interviews, etc.) used in the development of my books.
