Michael Rogers

Biography

With high morals, imagination and a delicious craze for fantasy, The Rostical Guild and The Rostical Users were born.

Written like it's a script from a video game in an originally styled format, we hope to play our adventures in a game one day!

Michael Rogers, an author that absolutely hates reading (even his own series) and has never read a full adult sized book in his life, is a prime example that you can do anything once you've set yourself a goal or dream.

He has poured his life, sweat, tears and blood (yes, paper cuts hurt!) into his work. It may not be the literature you're used to, but he guarantees, if you give it a go, you'll fall in love with the characters like he has.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
When I first started writing my first book "The Rostical Users". I never had any experience writing, nor did/do I enjoy reading. I wasn't even really good at english, so what I've done now.. Past me would laugh (thinking it's a joke). I still to this day don't know how I managed to pop out 150k word stories.
What's the story behind your latest book?
Unlike my previous series, for the first time writing, I've purposely placed my life experiences in a character (Luna from The Rostical Guild). It's actually harder than I thought, putting my own experiences in a character rather than to create one.
As I'm writing this, I'm actually doing a chapter on Luna in the second book "Desert Dragon", where Luna reveals her depression and the trivial events that led her to suicidal thoughts.
During those dark thoughts, it felt that only someone who could relate to how I felt could give me advice, so, through Luna, I want to show people that it's possible to be happy again.

Wow, wasn't expecting such an emotional revelation in the second question.
