Denise Rodgers Bio
Denise Rodgers spent the first twenty-eight years of her life working in the family jewelry business in Metro Detroit, followed by another more than twenty-something years running a home-based advertising company that catered to (you guessed it!) jewelers around the country. At the same time, she wrote and published two poetry books and a website of funny children’s poetry. Many of her poems have also been anthologized and published in textbooks around the globe.
Rodgers' most recent work, a funny murder mystery series featuring lively and outspoken woman sleuth Bella Blumer, takes place in a jewelry store in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit. The first two books are available on Amazon, and the third, Poison Pearl, is scheduled for release in 2019. See HOME page or below for more information.
While Denise share many traits with her main character, Bella Blumer, this book is in no way autobiographical. She lives in Metro Detroit (near, but not in Royal Oak) with her husband and tiny Shih Tzu, Tina. She works by day as a numbers cruncher in the family wood veneer business, exercising the analytical part of her brain. She has two grown sons, two wonderful daughter-in-laws, four amazing (adorable and highly intelligent) grandsons (no bias here), and a beautiful and lively (adorable and highly intelligent) granddaughter!
