Roger Cooper - "Author?"
Miss Doris Ballard, Roger's senior high English and Comp teacher would probably not have given Roger a "thumbs-up" or a "You Can Do It!" encouraging word for his composition, gramatical and literary skills. In fact, if one was to look at his transcripts from that class they would discover quite a different scenario...a "slacker" when it came to education and application. However Roger truly enjoyed learning about writing! (Even if he didn't let Miss Ballard in on that secret; because his grades betrayed that desire!? BTW...A HUGE "Thank You!" goes out to Miss Ballard for sparking the "writing bug" in him at an early age!))
After high school he became an avid composer and writer...a songwriter that is! Writing lyrics, composing music, arranging material for performances and recording has been what he has done for years, and it's come easy to him! His passion for music and life led him down a road to compose music which reflected his heart and his life!
Through the years however he developed a hunger to write not just music but to share thoughts, ideas, insights and more importantly, to share those things which had a profound impact on his life! Opportunities came to write articles and short stories for local newspapers but that only served to "fan the flame" of his writing desires.
With years of living an intentionally simple life under his belt, Roger wrote and released a very well received and much heralded book entitled "The Simple Life". Described as a "down to earth, practical, informational and inspirational look at Intentional Simplicity...and how to enjoy the life you desire!", the contents of the book have been a true benchmark for folks...a life-changing, turning point for many readers!
He continues to write and publish a periodic blog entitled "Morning Moments" which is an inspirational look at life; plus he has also joined with FEMA in their preparedness campaign and is currently working on a preparedness book entitled "Hey Scouts...Let's Be Prepared!"
