PERSONALLY SPEAKING:
Roger Himes and his wife Eileen reside in what singer John Denver calls 'Colorado Rocky Mountain High' -- the state of Colorado, USA. This was after relocation from Houston, Texas many years ago. This was after Roger grew up in Minneapolis and Hibbing Minnesota -- Oakland, California – Salt Lake City, Utah – and Butte, Montana, as he followed his dad and mom around as their job transferred them.
Roger and Eileen have two grown daughters, Lisa and Shawn, and four grandkids. They owned a wedding venue in the mountains of Colorado for years. Roger liked saying, "I used to get people divorced. Now I get them married. It's a much better deal, and I know God likes it better too." Now they own a lodge, Mountain Peaks Inn, Hill City, South Dakota USA, which is close to Mount Rushmore.
Roger built his law practice singing in nightclubs at night and passing out business cards at the breaks. What better place to meet people who need an attorney, right? Newspapers must have thought a lawyer singing in bars was newsworthy. They wrote articles about him: "The Singing Attorney" and "The Court Jester." He composes and sings the songs in this book. In addition to songs, he writes spiritual and inspirational books that are free on his site mentioned in the book.
He enjoys playing the guitar and singing and reading books, especially on the subject of the gospel, which is also what he mostly writes about. He likes lots of outdoor activities in Colorado.
