There’s Not Enough Hours in the Day…

Glenn — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 03:45:41 +0000

“Burning the candle at both ends—and running out of candle!” Well, that’s how I have felt these past five months. I finished my latest novel AMAZON MOON in December and a good friend, international best-selling author Nicholas Guild read the work and provided excellent recommendations. All I have to do is find enough hours in …

A WRITER’S DILEMMA

Glenn — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 02:02:30 +0000

Micheal Rivers is best known as being a genuinely talented author of paranormal thrillers and true friend to the indie world. I’ve read several of his novels, truly enjoyed them, and I am quite fortunate to personally know such a fine gentleman. Previously, Nicholas Guild, a best-selling, international author, was kind enough to write a …

My Journey With Amazon Moon

Glenn — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:44:02 +0000

After a long year I recently completed the first draft of Amazon Moon. The first full edit went fairly smooth, or at least as painless as I could make it. Now I’m patiently awaiting replies from a few beta readers and then will go through the novel once more to finalize it. The writing of …

THE CHARACTER OF CHARACTER – an article by author Nicholas Guild

Glenn — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 01:21:57 +0000

Glenn’s Note: I have always stated Nicholas Guild is one of the few select authors I consider as my mentor of the writing craft. After all, one should choose the best to learn from. He’s been writing since 1975, has been published around the world with many of his works being international bestsellers, and as …

SOLOMON’S MEN – MWSA 2012 Conference Finalist

It was a wonderful surprise and honor to receive an email from Joyce Faulkner, President of the Military Writers Society of America, which said: “Congratulations, Glenn! Your novel “Solomon’s Men” has been nominated as a finalist in the Mystery/Thriller genre of our 2012 Conference…” I say ‘surprise’ because that is exactly what it was… “Solomon’s …

T.G.I.A. — Working the Streets….

Glenn — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:55:58 +0000

There are times when reality hits home, gives you a wake-up call, and leaves you with the realization the dirty side of life still exists even though you may have forgotten or chose to ignore it. Some people don’t have the luxury to forget. They work it every day, seemingly living it because they must. …

The Legacy Continues…Nicholas Guild is Back!

Glenn — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 06:16:14 +0000

I’ve been away from my computer for several days. I needed time to think about my writing path, plus a long list of unattended activities demanded attention. Sometimes a writer needs a break in the form of physical work. It helps clear your head and allows you to refocus on your overall efforts. On …

Memorial Day: Remembering Those Who Served

Glenn — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:12:22 +0000

I doubt if wars will ever end during my lifetime or even that of my grandson’s. They have existed in some form for hundreds of reasons since the first cave man led his tribe against a neighboring tribe. I doubt too if there has ever been a single year since recorded history when a …

Independent Bookstores Still Exist!

As you know, I didn’t have much luck with getting my three books on the shelves of my local library but I’m fortunate to have them in a bookstore! Check out the photos. Talk about a great feeling…. There they are on the top shelf for the world to see—and of course, to …

Another Gut-Punch to Indie Authors

Glenn — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:26:52 +0000

Excuse me while I stand on my soap-box for a moment. Sometimes I just need to vent…and this is one of those times. I’ve always been a strong supporter of education and literacy. Whether you are a child or an adult, the importance of good education and the ability to read is critical. Individuals …
