Roger Frederick was born in La Jolla, California in 1966,
but has spent most of his life in the UK. He grew up in Berkshire,
and now lives in West Wales.
In a varied career, Roger has worked as a journalist, copywriter

lab! He currently runs an e-publishing company.
During the
last decade, Roger has written four novels and numerous short
stories, which are published through Interstate

Roger's fiction is mainly set in Westing, the central town
of Westingshire - an imaginary county that is a cross between
North Somerset, the M4 corridor, the Berkshire countryside
and the Pembrokeshire coast.
A 700pp collection of Roger's early work 'The Casino
Kid and other stories' was published in 1999.
This featured two novels, the
casino kid and fishing
for angels.
It also included a novella entitled walking
by water and a collection of short stories shorts
and dresses. Full online versions are available for
free on this website.
The website also features the full text of the
shrewdness of apes a novel completed in
2004, and showcases a collection of new short
stories entitled
of lemonade lizards and other
brief trips into post-punk fiction. Initial
print runs of these two titles have now been published by
Interstate New Fiction and will be available as paperback
originals via this website soon.
Roger Frederick is currently completing a new novel
- Flesh and Wood - the story of a disabled saleswoman
who finds a mysterious wooden hand and other wooden body
parts discarded on a beach. This is due for publication
online and in print in autumn 2007.
