What does Uppercut and TJ99 have in common?
One is a memoir, the other a novel.
Yet both draw inspiration from each other.
Mark Rogers is the master of blurring lines.
Reality and fiction just merge into gritty literature.
I'd once pegged Mark's writing in a few lines:
“Mark is a hardcore gritty writer. He king-hits your senses. No bullshit. He might give up a few jazz sentences, but that's about all, and that's when he's feeling expansive, which is very rare.”
Vanya Vetto, author of Garuda Travels
I'll wear it.
I've read the Noir Mexican series, from back to front, yet Uno eludes me.
It's as if the author has rewritten it and revamped it.
Nothing is lost, more is gained.
A few familiar faces, Mr. Coffee and MagicJack.
Mark draws upon every day life to bring realism into his work.
When you start dreaming about thugs pulling out knives and guns, and asking you which do you prefer, is either a case of sleeping too much or reading too many Mark Rogers' novels.
'Or more than likely pissing off someone you shouldn't have.'
That too.
After four months in the duromine wilderness, I'm reading again.
Really reading.
Right eye is shot from duromine.
It's a case of left eye open and watching my back.
Yep, Mark Rogers' novels can do that to you.
It can make a grown man cry.
Let's hope his work doesn't catch on in Mexico.
'That fucker wrote about me.'
DUCK, MARK!!! FUCKING DUCK...
