Overview

This book is the true story of a life that the author (Roger Mendoza) once lived that unfolded to him in a very unusual way. While driving to work, the first part came to him as a waking dream lasting little more than a few seconds. Two months later the rest of the story came in a similar way. The odd thing was that these felt more like memories than just two waking dreams. In 2005 Roger set out to collect all of his notes and recollections to create My Little Cowboy. It took seven years for Roger to discover all of the connections between that story and his emotionally complicated present life. The story focuses on an estrangement between Alexander and his son that ends tragically in the 1860's, fails to resume in the 1940's and then successfully continues in the 1950's. It follows the life of Alexander's family, as each is reborn in the 20th century. It is autobiographical in that Roger, the author, claims to be the re-incarnation of Alexander. Writing My Little Cowboy was a cathartic experience for Roger. He'd been taunted by nightmares as a child and with memories of a life somehow familiar. The memories were oftentimes overwhelming. Once Roger wrote these memories down (in My Little Cowboy), the taunting (and haunting) memories seemed to subside.

Author Information

Roger Mendoza lives in the small town of Parker, Colorado - just outside of Denver. He always dreamed of living amongst the cows, horses, deer and other wildlife that is typical in the small towns of Colorado, but still not far from easy access to the grocery stores and department stores that are typical in a bigger city. His dream came true in 1998 when he moved from California where he had lived for twenty-five years. He worked most of his life as a Software Engineer in the Aerospace Industry where he cultivated his passion for computer programming. He is a professional photographer and can often be seen toting his camera looking for photo opportunities in and around Parker. He loves to capture nature photography and beautiful scenery. He was born eighth in a family of ten children. There were five boys and five girls with an age span of about twenty-three years. With a fascination for his family history, he has spent years gathering his parent's family photographs and documents. He has catalogued the family's collections and digitized them all. He loves keeping the family tree database updated with new family members as they are born. Roger loves to review the thousands of family photographs and documents while imagining what these people - these relatives were like. Roger has always had an interest in understanding the philosophy of life, why people act the way they do and how we all fit into the grander scheme of life itself. He's always had a fascination for the paranormal, psychics, hypnosis and past lives. He calls himself a healthy skeptic and is often surprised with joy and wonder at how the seemingly impossible somehow happens. He learned long ago that life is considerably grander than he can easily imagine. He is so grateful to have received guidance from a universe that is so vested in happy endings.
