Brief Author Bio: Glenn Sasscer, Jr. (born 1966) is an American author of several fiction novels and other literary works. His writing typically spans a variety of genres, from horror, thrillers, and suspense to inspirational and romance, and the newly emerging cross-genre known as "Christian Horror" . Glenn combines suspense, thriller, and horror writing aspects to produce engaging, believable stories. Glenn's novels contain less blatant Christian content, writing from a Christian worldview without getting preachy or pushing religion. While his novels contain "darker" themes, including graphic violence, language references, depictions of evil, alcoholics, drugs, and addictions, he defends his themes to say... "My characters are not role-models or perfect... if they were, who could relate to them? They are set in situations we all encounter in life and when is life perfect or squeaky clean? I am not interested in writing a story where a reader cannot become engaged, relating to the characters or situations. These are characters questioning God, questioning their faith, or denying the existence of God altogether... do you know anyone fitting this description?" Besides writing novels, Glenn also writes short-stories, inspirational themes, gift books, and devotional stories. Past literary agents and publishers have noted a difficulty in establishing a "brand name" for Glenn, as his novels are much less "Christianized" and carry more secular styles while his devotionals put you right into the arms of Jesus Christ. Suffering Madness, now available on Amazon.com, at Barnes & Noble, and other on-line retailers, is the first of his several novels to be published. |
