(About the Author)
A native of Peoria, Illinois, award-winning author Kenneth Rogers, Jr. is a secondary English teacher who currently lives in Baltimore, Maryland. "After writing my self-help book,
Heroes, Villains, and Healing,
I realized there was still more that could be written to help other male survivors. Each comic character (whether hero or villain) could be used to focus on a specific trauma to help other survivors." His next book will be a guide that uses Marvel superheroes, rather than DC, to help survivors heal.
