About the author
Glenn Stevens
57 books20 followersGlenn is the author of Blood Relations, a 600-page paranormal romance that takes readers from the depths of space to the depths of their own souls and shows that not all vampires are bad creatures. Part fantasy and part love story Blood Relations explores how great life can be having everything if one is willing to make "certain" sacrifices.
Glenn has written five other paranormal, sci-fi and fantasy based short stories as well. Most books can be found on Amazon in paperback, eBook or audiobook formats. His vampire-themed stories are available around the world in many different languages, most selling for as little as 99 cents.
If you consider the vast universe we live in, where there are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on our beaches, you might believe anything is possible in at least one dimension.
A story a writer creates today just could become reality tomorrow, or may already be a reality today somewhere out among the billions of stars and parallel universes. A writer is limited only by the depth of his or her imagination. The stories writers create open a reader’s mind to these infinite possibilities, adventures, and escapes.
Stevens escapes to the underworld where vampires thrive. Vampires are fascinating creatures to write about with roots in today’s reality. For example, the insect world is full of vampire-like creatures from spiders to mosquitoes. In the parasite world, we can even find examples of mind control, where an animal’s mind is taken over for the parasite to survive. In the world of evolution, we see how viruses can change DNA for better or worse. In the field of medical science, we see breakthroughs down to cellular levels, opening doors to eliminating diseases and even stopping the aging process.
For the past twenty years, Stevens has been active in writing clubs, and writing newsletters for charitable organizations. These efforts have helped him become a more polished author. He’s no literary giant though and he still can’t find an agent who will take him on, but he knows the writer’s journey is a long one. In this journey, persistence prevails when all else fails. Hence why you can buy many of his one of a kind books dirt cheap on Amazon.
In 2012 he listed his first eBook on Kindle titled, “Halloween Ball at Dracula’s Castle”. He was so excited to be actually published, that he brought his other classics to Amazon. Expect more vampire-themed stories from Glenn in the future, including a six hundred page epic novel titled, “Blood Relations”. It’s a story about love, lust, and vampires in a totally new light and one story he hopes to bring to the silver screen one day - hopefully before he joins the undead!
Outside of writing, Glenn enjoys hiking, flying, traveling, bird watching, storm spotting, and shopping. He is married to a wonderful wife of 28 years who’s been an inspiration all along his writing path.
He hopes his writing above all entertains his readers. For him it’s about the journey, the new worlds and interesting characters his writing brings to life. He believes writers provide a necessary escape from the ordinary worlds we all live into the extraordinary worlds we need to get away to. And he hopes to educate as well as entertain, as many of his stories have roots deep in the real world and offer real-world advice. Thank you for your interest and much-appreciated support.

When College student, Lori discovers her best friend Vickie is missing, she goes in search of her. In Vampire Landlord, author Glenn Stevens brings us a short story set to chill the bones. Vickie's old landlord has no idea where she has gone and is so incensed at her leaving without notice he presents Lori with a bill for rent arrears to give to her friend. When Lori finally does track Vickie down, she discovers her friend has literally fallen on her feet, moving into a swank apartment, rent free, with her new landlord also helping her with school expenses and providing lots of extra luxury accessories for the young woman. There has to be a catch, right? Of course there is and some unexplained bite marks on Vickie's neck, her general malaise and the odd appearance of Vickie's new landlord, Annette, tell Lori that everything is perhaps not as wonderful as Vickie makes it out to be. What have the two friends walked into, here?
Vampire Landlord by Glenn Stevens is a quick, pithy read that can be navigated in just over an hour, or so. If you are looking for a vampire story, with a difference and with some cunning twists, this may well be the perfect story for you. The brevity of the story didn't really allow time for the characters to be fully developed. The Landlord Annette was fascinating and the character showed a ton of potential. The author's style is relaxed and conversational, making the read quick and easy but I still felt there was room for more meat on the bones of the story. That having been said, in the context of a short story in this genre it was both satisfying and easily consumed. I particularly enjoyed the freezer room attached to Annette's bedroom and would have loved the author to explore that more fully. If you are looking for a quick, easy read in the vampiric genre, this book will definitely suit your needs.

This is a silly story. Not much else I can really say about it.
