Roger's Story

Roger Neumaier was raised in the north country of Hibbing and Moorhead Minnesota. At Carleton College in Northfield Minnesota where Roger earned a Bachelor of Arts in Literature in 1971, he learned to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of good literature.

After graduating from Carleton, Roger spent three years traveling across the United States and Europe while working in minimum wage jobs. In 1974, he settled in the Puget Sound Area of Washington State and continued his blue-collar work until 1980. Then, without the benefit of any finance related education or work experience, Roger passed the CPA exam. He retired in 2014 after more than three decades as an innovative CPA and CFO. 

As the son of a holocaust survivor, Neumaier’s writings highlight social intolerance and the search for understanding of life's challenges in this crazy world. Roger has always been a right brained thinker who tries to appreciate and understand the nuances of the world . Now that he is pursuing his life-long dream of authoring fresh and relevant stories, to paraphrase Wallace Stevens, his writings seek to face the men of the time and meet the women of the time. 

Roger resides in Edmonds, Washington. He is married and has three adult children who are living in Edmonds as well.

Since November of 2021, I have published seven books. Writing and rewriting these manuscripts has been an absolute joy.  I have come to care a great deal about the books' characters and their stories. I hope you enjoy them as well. 

Thank you for any thoughts, suggestions or questions you send my way. I will try to be responsive to each comment or question you send.

Finally, I appreciate each and every review you post on Goodreads.com (see the link below) or on the Amazon.com site where you may have purchased my book. Those reviews are immensely important for success in the publishing marketplace.
