About the author
N. Joseph Glass
39 books43 followersA 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.)
Indie Author Checklist:
- A real human (as far as he knows).
- Works with human beta readers and editors.
- Loves his own work. Really, he's a super fan of his own books.
- Sucks at marketing, so you're probably not even seeing this.
// Author's note: Yeah, I wrote that in 3rd person. It's an author thing.

GREAT SELECTION OF SHORT STORIES
Very unique selection of short stories with a wide range of tropes, from time travel to aliens. These stories were heartwarming and thought provoking. Every story stood alone, making me wish for more.

December 1, 2025Three great shorts in three sci-fi sub genres from speculative fiction to historical to hysterical. I think you'll enjoy it. (I wrote it, so giving myself 5 stars seems disingenuous)
