Glen R Stansfield

Glen R Stansfield likes to kill people – in stories – mostly! Born in Rossendale, in the Lancashire Pennines, he grew up with a freedom and innocence he believes children no longer enjoy. They were magical times when play was a product of the imagination; a tree trunk became a pirate ship, a stick was a sword: all done without the aid of electronics. Crafting stories with a twist or two, and with strong female protagonists leading the way, he encourages his readers to examine contemporary social issues, without losing sight of the fact a story must be entertaining. He has self-published three novels, Fishing for Stones, Harry, and Out of Darkness. Contributions to several print and online publications led to the release of a cookbook Around the World in Eighty Dishes. Glen has recently had a short story accepted for the anthology, Arabian Noir, the first ever title released by a chapter of the Crime Writers Association. He now resides in Panama with his wife Jess, and is currently an ambassador for the Alliance of Independent Authors, encouraging authors worldwide.
