Glenn was raised in the shadow of Walt Disney World, and has never really grown up. It’s okay, though, because he writes for children. He suspects this may be a competitive advantage, but he’s never been tested for it. He is not, however, an Animatronic robot. Only when dancing …
Glenn lives with his wife and children in a small town in Western New York that’s pretty much Mayberry. But without Don Knotts. Bummer. He also has a dog who likes to bark at people, then boldly run and hide from them. He’s blessed to be able to work as a teacher, where he gets to talk about books and mentor young writers on a daily basis.
Glenn is the author of The Misadventured Summer of Tumbleweed Thompson, a wild and woolly middle-grade novel set on the American frontier and inspired by his love of novels like Tom Sawyer and Homer Price, and Junction Tales, a collection of stories set in the world of Tumbleweed Thompson. He also proudly contributes to Story Warren, a website which partners with parents to nurture holy imagination in children through stories.

Glenn’s heart is large (and that’s metaphorical, not a medical condition:). I was blessed to be in his English Department for many years.
