N Joseph Glass
An Italian American born in New York and living in Milan,
Italy. I am a sci-fi geek and an IT consultant. (No surprise there.) I enjoy stories that fire the imagination and love the genres of science fiction, action/adventure, and thrillers. I lose myself reading compelling novels and have taken inspiration to create characters and expound my stories from being captivated by reading.
My journey to creative writing just happened. As ideas entered my mind, I began visualizing scenes and the people in them. As my imagination added detail and depth, I put my fingers on my keyboard and started writing. Creativity became a cherished hobby at first and I have worked with great editors and coaches as I continue to hone my skills as a storyteller.
Optimistic views of the future through art always interest me, as I believe ours will be bright.
