Chris Rogers was born in Texas and raised in the days of EC Comics and “B” horror flicks that could chill you down to your funny bones.

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

It's the "Black Hole." I'm a collector. I collect books, bottle caps, clean crumpled paper - all organized and with a purpose, so I'm not one of those writers living in a maze of junk. But there's a black hole somewhere in my house where things vanish. I absolutely know I have a book titled Euphonic Mnemonics, because it's cataloged, but it vanished. My favorite scarf, which I wear frequently, gone. A photo of son, gone. Have Mary Norton's "The Borrowers" moved into the crevices of my house? No. I've looked. I've listened. It's definitely a black hole, somewhere, and it's gobbling up my things.(less)

All Squared Up or Out of Square?

In painting as in writing, boredom is the one factor that can kill a piece. To finish and have it bore an audience is bad enough. To finish and find yourself too bored to bother hanging it is worse.

And yes, it’s true that boredom is in the eye of the beholder. Another truth is that we should never judge a piece too soon.

When we’ve been striving for a particular outcome, concentration can give us
