Joe Regenbogen, Author, Educator, Essayist, on The Sunbury Press Books Show
b"Joe Regenbogen's long career as a schoolteacher led to writing later in life, and has encompassed a series of thoughtful, researched and diverse works. Appearing on The Sunbury Press Books Show, Regenbogen discusses his experiences in the classroom, which led to his first two books:\\xa0Questioning History\\xa0and\\xa0Relearning History\\xa0were targeted at those bored with traditional methods of teaching.\\n\\nHis following works were equally fulfilling:\\xa0The Boys of Brookdale\\xa0tells the stories of veterans of World War II, while\\xa0Making a Difference\\xa0details the work of Irl Solomon, who dedicated his career to teaching in the schools of East St. Louis. From here, Regenbogen stepped into fiction with his first novel,\\xa0Longs Peak, and his latest,\\xa0Dying of the Light,\\xa0available on Sunbury's Ars Metaphysica imprint.\\n\\nWhen Ethan's wife of 40 years passes away, he realizes the guiding light of his life is now extinguished. Haunted as well by a decision made decades before, Ethan takes a road trip to rediscover himself, and find a way to make things right, after so many years.\\n\\nA native of New Orleans, Joe Regenbogen taught in the city's schools before moving to St. Louis, where he now resides. In addition to writing, he has hosted talks and penned op-ed pieces for the\\xa0St. Louis Post-Dispatch."
