Roger Blakely is an Army Chief Warrant Officer, currently assigned to an Army Reserve Training Division Regional Support Group Headquarters northwest of Chicago, Illinois. Roger spent six months at an Army airfield in Kuwait, 9 miles from the Iraq border during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service in the desert.

Roger has been in the Army for over thirty years with assignments in Germany, Kuwait, Illinois, Kansas, and Alabama and other interesting places and draws upon his extensive military background when writing his novels. When he’s not working for the Army or working on his latest novel, he takes his friends on adventures at a nearby shooting range and was an avid kick boxer until he crushed and dislocated his left shoulder in an accident in early 2009.

Roger resides with his cat, Newton (age 11) in the town of Tomah, Wisconsin.

  I just found this author. Michelle's writing is smooth and flows off the page. The subject matter of FINDING STAR is important and the way that Michelle sets out the story and brings the characters to life will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended novel to feed to your Kindle or Nook or other eReader. Roger Blakely Tomah, Wisconsin
