About The Author
Roger Fulton is the author of several successful management books. His books Common Sense Supervision, Common Sense Management and Common Sense Leadership are appropriate for managers in ANY industry, Much of his background has also been in the criminal justice community. So you will find several titles that apply to that arena as well But supervision, management and leadership cross all walks of life, so take your choices from the available titles below. They will all serve you well.
When I wrote my first book, Common Sense Supervision, a guide to being a successful supervisor in any industry, I hoped it would sell a few hundred copies. If it reached 2000, it would be considered a successful book.
Random House Publishing has just advised me that it has now sold more than 44,000 copies. And that is just the English version.
If you have any friends or relatives who may have an interest in their own workplace success as a supervisor, please let them know that it's still available out there. Maybe I'll be able to announce a 50,000 copy milestone next year.
It is available through Random House's webpage
Thanks for your time and interest,

Common Sense Gun Control – Issues and Answers
By Roger Fulton
The debate about the 2nd Amendment and gun control in America has been raging recently as strong as ever. That's generally a healthy thing in our democracy. But the misinformation, the groundswell of emotional rhetoric and the political posturing on both sides have driven me to re-enter the fray.
In this book, I try to interject some actual facts and common sense into the entire gun control debate across local, state, national and international boundaries.
Will I succeed in that goal?
You decide after you read it.
It's based on my 40 year career in the Criminal Justice Community and is backed by all of my degrees, research and practical law enforcement experience.

Roger Fulton's Autobiography
My stories here are of me growing up and trying to find my way as a young man. My time at sea with the U.S. Coast Guard “matured” me. Seventeen years with the New York State Police allowed me to “give back” to society. And the abrupt end to that career forced me to move on to two more careers.
Celebrities write their memoirs early on. In my generation, it was General “Stormin” Norman Schwartzkopf about the Gulf War. Hillary Clinton and other politicians and celebrities of my generation also published their stories.
But I thought that the story of the “common man” should be told. If not for the current generation to read, but for future generations to understand the career and social mores, activities and events of the time, 1947 – at least 2021 😊.
And that is what I have tried to do. I lived a life of these times and have been blessed with the skills to research and write about them.
So, from my 75 years of trial and tribulation, on a variety of fronts, here has been my story of Attitude, Adventure and Lots of Luck!
I’ve reduced 75 years of life experience lessons and adventures to just under 200 pages!! I hope you enjoy them!
