edit data

A knucklehead from Brooklyn living in Milan and writing fiction because reality kind of sucks right now.

Glass is a real human with a single letter for a name and a passion for crafting compelling stories. He focuses on the writing craft, working with writing coaches and editors, to give readers an engaging, thought-provoking, and memorable experience. Because why else would anyone read a book?

To create relatable characters embarking on meaningful journeys, Glass draws from personal experiences (good & bad). Readers feel a deep connection with the characters they spend time with. This human connection between characters, readers, and author fuels his drive as a writer. (His part-time IT gig pays the bills.)

More than a ghost...

The Weight of a Cold Case on a Detective's Soul.

When the body of Sandy Rawlings is discovered in a Marietta park, Detective Walker Michaels is thrust back into the nightmare he thought he'd left behind. The city’s most notorious serial killer, the Moralist, vanished four years ago, but the gruesome staging of Sandy’s murder suggests a copycat—or something even more sinister.

Didn't like it. My first read form King (I'm not into horror and most of his "supernatural" stuff) and I guess I expected to be impressed. I mean, he's a legend. This book has an entire first section, over 14 chapters, that is essentially a prologue. ...more
