Gregory Glanz
Greg has spent a lifetime pursuing creative writing and storytelling. He has a passion for the hidden tale, the ignored subject, the absurd. He has had a number of short stories published in genres from realism to fantasy and science fiction, as well as cross genres such as magical realism. He is a homebrewer and biking enthusiast. Surprisingly, they go exceedingly well together as more and more microbrews chase thirsty bicyclists across city trails. In his spare time, he loves to travel through the villages of Ireland and document rural, generational Irish pubs in the series, ‘A Proper Pint’ (https://www.aproperpintfilm.com/). His book, ‘In Human Shadow,’ was released last fall by Nordic Press.

James is a college lecturer from Manchester, England and has been writing speculative fiction (science fiction, horror and fantasy) for almost three decades. The biggest influences on James as a writer, he would say, are H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Frank Herbert and Clive Barker.
To date James has been fortunate enough to have had several short stories and novellas included in various anthologies as well as some short novels published by Class Act Books. For James writing is all about escapism; the more he can create his world, the more he enjoys it.
