Roger Moreau was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. He started writing short stories at the age of thirteen. A child of divorce, Roger lived with his mother, and on visits to his father’s home, Roger always had a notebook with him for writing. Roger’s first book, A Boy Growing Up Different, is a childhood memoir about growing up with divorced parents, domestic violence, discovering sexuality and addiction. I’m Not Him, his second memoir, follows Roger’s struggles with mental health on a path to finding recovery. 

In his mid-twenties, Roger travelled the world working on a cruise line. After a few years, he returned to Canada and moved into Social Services. Roger is a Youth Support Worker and has worked in youth resource centres, where he also held weekly LGBTQ2+ youth group meetings. He has also worked in youth shelters, crisis stabilization units, group homes and independent living programs. 

On his time off, he is with his two cats, keeps in touch with family and friends from all over the world, and is always writing. Roger has also produced several short films about his life and on issues of addiction, mental health, suicide ideation, sexuality and gender identity.

Roger is also the author of, Ship’s Life, his third memoir, from his time traveling the world and working overseas.
