Local Recreation and Parks Administrator Delves Into 'Past Sins'

Morgan Rodgers writes his third book in four years.

Morgan Rodgers, mild-mannered Recreation and Parks Administrator by day, is a locally celebrated author by night. Much to the delight of Roswell citizens, Rodgers has written his third book in the past four years. Past Sins is the sequel to his last novel, "Timing…the Key to Life."

"Past Sins" continues the story of the characters you met in "Timing"; the book takes relatable characters and showcases their stories in different locations and landmarks throughout Roswell that will feel familiar for all who read the book.

When you read about all the characters eating in Slope’s BBQ together, you will be able to identify with their lives. Most books talk about faraway places that most of us have never heard of or visited, but when you read "Past Sins," you will have a clear picture and true feeling of where the story takes you. Anyone who has visited Slope’s BBQ, Lucky's Burger & Brew, Roswell Area Park, and Lita Thompson Memorial Park will feel right at home with "Past Sins", especially when they run into household names like Bob and Marlene White.
