Glenn Rolfe is a singer, songwriter, and author of over eighteen books. He has studied Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University, toured in a minivan with his punk rock friends, played the Hard Rock Cafe in Denver, hosted a radio show at Bates College, and dreams of surfing in the Pacific Ocean one day with his future pet goat.

He loves the books of Stephen King, Brian Keene, Ronald Malfi, Jack Ketchum, and Richard Laymon, the music of Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Pre-Reputation Taylor Swift, Kiss, and Billy Joel, and soaking in the sun and eating pier fries at Old Orchard Beach.

His kids love him despite his weirdness, so who could ask for more?
He is hard at work on many more books and songs.

Stay tuned!

Hi, Jeff!
Thanks for checking out my work.
As for your question, I am currently writing the sequel to Blood and Rain. It is titled, Waiting For Darkness. I'm hoping to get it ready for Halloween of this year. Stay tuned!
If you haven't checked out my novella, CHASING GHOSTS, give it a shot. The eBook is on sale for just 99 cents.

Thanks again.

I actually live in Maine. I think the woods have a lot to do with our horror minds. There's so much that we can't see just beyond our doors. It just initiates this child-like fear within us. And that always makes for a good scare. Whether you're reading a good, spooky book or watching the Evil Dead.
