About the author
N. Joseph Glass
45 books44 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.

January 17, 2026This was okay—I had to check it out after enjoying another book by this author. Sadly though, the delivery was poor (robotic dictation-style narration, no voice-acting to be found).
That pretty much ruined my reading experience.
🎙️ Audio:
This wasn’t optimal—overall sound quality was decent! The narration though was extremely robotic and made listening to this very difficult. As a result, I struggled to pay attention.

June 30, 2025I'm thrilled to have 100 new readers who just scored a free copy of Finding Idyllium via my Goodreads Giveaway. (If you're one of them and you enjoy it, please consider dropping a review on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/review/create-...)
As the author, I think this is a great read. The characters are deep and relatable and the moral dilemmas several of them face are equal to the stakes of saving the 4.5 billion left on a dying Earth.
