With that out of the way, let's begin.
This is the blah, blah, blah section. You know the author’s “glory page” where he gets to tell you grandiose things about himself and the deeper meaning of his work. Whatever.
I write books. Seriously, that's what I get to do every day. It's great.
I have been fortunate to author some that have achieved bestseller status, including The Hunters Series of mystery suspense thrillers. It took me a lot of years to get to that point, but I wouldn't trade any of them for a minute. I love writing books for you and the journey that brought me here.
I am a native of the south, Georgia specifically. I spent much of my life there, but I have lived in many other places as well. We moved a lot when I was young. Eventually, we ended up back in Georgia in my teens where I finished school and went to work.
I wanted to write from an early age. A really long time ago, when I was still a young police officer in Georgia, I was writing short stories in my spare time and sending them off to magazines. One day I received one back in the mail.
Life Happened
Attached to it was a nice handwritten letter from an editor (this was long before the days of email and texts). The story manuscript was folded and smudged, and there were coffee cup rings on the edges of a couple of pages, which told me they had actually read it, maybe discussed it around an editorial table, or just used it to sop up the coffee.
In her letter, the editor said a lot of things that I don't remember, but it was not the usual form letter that I was accustomed to receiving. It was original and personal.
She said they liked my story, had strongly considered it for publication, but that it wasn't quite believable. Disappointed as I was, I was struck by her last words to me..."Don't stop writing. You're good at this. We almost bought this one."
I remember staring at that a long time. Then I folded it up and tucked it in a file and...stopped writing.
I wish I could tell you a different story, but I can't. I stopped writing for many years.
There were lots of reasons. Yes, I was disappointed, but the letter that should have encouraged me not to give up was forgotten.
Life happened. Dreams of writing were pushed aside by other things...important things.
Mostly I needed money for my young family. In the 1970s, police officers in Georgia were not paid a lot even by the standards of the day. I worked part-time jobs whenever I wasn't working at the police department. Many weeks I had no days off at all.
I'm not unhappy that I did my best to take care of my family. It was the right thing to do and working for them was the joy of my life.
Children grew up; then grandchildren came along. More life happened.
Then...The Internet Appeared
Out of the blue, this thing called the internet appeared and guess what. I was at a point in life when I didn't need to work part-time jobs every spare minute of the day. I could write again.
It's different these days. I can publish a book whether I convince an agent or editor to read it or not. I am an independent writer/publisher, an “Indie.”
It’s a partnership between us, writer and reader, and it's a marvelous thing.
Don't be a Follower -- Make Your Dream Real
It took many years to get here. Life is like that, with lots of twists and turns and surprises. I like it that way.
Now, I write every day, so here's my parting advice.
Don’t follow your dreams. Followers get nowhere except up the backside of the person in front.
Work and make your dream a reality.

Another home
I wanted this to be a longer story, I feel that even though Alice was welcomed here, the story was too rushed and didn't develop as well as the previous books. The ending was not what I was expecting and now I will have another sleepless night while I help Alice out. xoxoxo

Another great book in the blue eye series. It was easy to read and full of adventure. The author does another wonderful job with this book and I am going to read the next one in the series next!! It has everything going for it.

Low key
This rather unusually has a rather low key role for Alice, going by the name Marlie Forbes, as she isn’t really involved in the story until late in the book.
In her rather limited role Alice helps some local cattle farmers against the local major cattleman.
She absconds once more and is looking to reunite with John and Barry.
A story lacking pace or twists until the end, then it’s WHAM a real full on whack in the face.
Onto book 5 to find out what happens.

Another Good Book.
This book was a little on the short side. It was another good story about Alice, good characters that were well developed. Alice always gets into trouble helping the little guy. This time she may be over her head. This one did have a different ending than the others. Is she going to be able to talk her way out or????? You’ll need to read the books. Read and enjoy.

Excellent read!
I have grown weary of looking for books which will keep me occupied and breathlessly awaiting the next page and chapter. I found that in Nowhere Land! Great Read! Thank you, Glenn.

Cliffhanger
Fairly predictable story line with a twist thrown in at the end to entice the reader to buy the next book.

Christmas season interrupted my finishing and rating this. Interesting read but I really don’t like cliffhangers.

Good!
Another good story from Glen Trust. The series is a enjoyable read. Be sure to read the series in order. The main character gets more interesting with each story.

Just when I was feeling good about what was happening, the bottom dropped and the fear came back.
Another good, interesting story.
