A Life Out Loud: Tracks Worn by Time and Tales Step aboard for a journey across the rails and through the years. A memoir brimming with heart, humour, and the unforgettable twists of a life truly lived out loud. Doug Rogers spent nearly three decades riding the rails with Canada's iconic Rocky Mountaineer, but his real journey started long before the trains and uniforms. From a prairie boyhood marked by mischief, small-town shenanigans, and family legend to the winding tracks of self-discovery, love, and loss, Doug invites readers to walk beside him through stations both grand and ordinary. With each chapter, you'll meet a cast of characters as colourful as a sunset over the Rockies. You'll witness life's derailments and surprising layovers, the laughter echoing down empty corridors, and the moments that call us to switch tracks and begin again. Whether he's painting the walls red as a stubborn toddler, surviving the perils of teenage years in the middle of the prairies, or forging a path as a gay man in a changing world, Doug's voice is warm, honest, and impossible to ignore. A Life Out Loud isn't just a collection of memories, it's an invitation. It's a chance to reflect on the tracks that shaped your own journey, to find wisdom in unexpected places, and to embrace the stories that make us who we are. Climb aboard. Enjoy the ride. You might just discover a piece of your own story along the way. Coming Soon in either eBook, Paperback or Hardcover.
