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.
In 2023, Glen had a short story accepted for the anthology, Arabian Noir, the first ever title released by a chapter of the Crime Writers Association.
After living in Bahrain and Panama, he now lives in the south of Scotland with his wife Jess, and is currently an ambassador for the Alliance of Independent Authors, encouraging authors worldwide.
