Wayne C. Rogers

Name: Wayne C. Rogers

Age: 64

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Favorite Novel: The best all around novel I have ever read is The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale. My favorite novels in the horror genre are: The Shining by Stephen King, The Stand by Stephen King, It by Stephen King, The Green Mile by Stephen King, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, and Joyland by King. That’s an awful lot of books by King, and that isn’t really all, either. There are books by other authors I’ve also enjoyed including: The Terror by Dan Simmons, Ghost Story & Floating Dragon by Peter Straub, the “Odd Thomas� series by Dean Koontz, the “Matthew Corbett� series by Robert R. McCammon, the “Hap/Leonard� series by Joe Lansdale, and the “Elvis Cole/Joe Pike� series by Robert Crais. This, of course, is only the tip of the iceberg.

Favorite authors: Stephen King, Joe R. Lansdale, Dean Koontz, Dan Simmons, John Everson, Tom Piccirilli, Ray Garton, Peter Straub, Robert Crais, Lawrence Block, Craig Spector & John Skipp, Steve Hamilton, Charlie Huston, Mick Garris, John Connolly, and David Silva. Along with these established authors are also several new-and-upcoming writers such as Todd Keisling, Terry West, DS Ullery, and James Keen. You could probably add another twenty authors to this list.

Favorite quote: “Get busy living, or get busy dying.� This is from Stephen King’s The Shawshank Redemption.
