John Cornelius Rogers was my father. He suffered from Narcolepsy and Cataplexy and writing became an outlet for the emotions he had to keep locked down deep inside himself. I wanted to publish his memoirs and poetry to honour his memory.
Reviews
“An often funny, witty and sometimes poignant series of anecdotes and poems that capture the everyday life of one John Cornelius Rogers. I love reading about events that both reverberate worldwide when we read about John Rogers’ training during World War Two, to the microcosm of family life.” – Fantasy Book Nerd
“Daydreams and Nightmares offers a wonderful first person account of a fascinating time in history, told through wild, varied vignettes, and evocative poetry.” – K. R. R. Lockhaven
“So enjoyed it including the poetry. A 5* from me.” – Judith Benson
“Rogers writes in a very engaging manner, witty, thoughtful and taut. I laughed out loud in several places, very keen eye for the absurd!” – Sally Beety
