Roger Burnage grew up in the village of Lymm, a civil parish in Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom. National service with the RAF took him to Ceylon - Sri Lanka as it is now known - where he worked as a radio mechanic on large transmitters. After release from service Roger went to work as a draughtsman at Vickers in Manchester, eventually becoming a sales engineer and travelled abroad to Scandinavia and India. It is during this period that he started to read the Hornblower novels by C. S. Forester which sparked his interest in this genre. Roger eventually settled in North Wales to build a business and raise a family. The thoughts of writing for himself were never far from his mind. Retirement finally gave him the opportunity. After a shaky start and many rejections from publishers and agents, Roger had almost given up on the idea altogether. Open heart surgery and an operation for a brain haemorrhage would probably have been the end of any notion of becoming an author for most people. Not Roger! He stuck at it, slowly typing away with two fingers for months on end crafting his series “The Merriman Chronicles”. With the help of his youngest son Robin, the first novel “A Certain Threat” was self-published on Amazon KDP in Paperback and Kindle. A decade later, his fan base is growing, book sales remain strong and another title has been added to the series. Sadly, Roger passed away in December 2015 after a short illness. He had many more ideas for Merriman and left several unfinished books in various stages of development. The adventures may yet be continued....
