Author Biography

Albert Einstein once said - Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. It also allows us to think outside the box and escape the confines of our world.

Glenn is a native of Chicago who grew up watching Dark Shadows. It is with Barnabas Collins his passion for vampire stories first hatched. The more romantic and erotic vampire stories like Dracula and the many films by Hammer nurtured that passion.

Vampires - such seductive, intelligent, powerful and attractive creatures with particular needs and weaknesses - perfect characters in any novel, especially around Halloween, Glenn's favorite time of the year.

To fill his need for more seduction, suspense, romance, sex, realism, and especially more bite scenes, Glenn set out to write his own flavor of vampire stories. Some of his tasty treats can be found on Amazon in eBook, paperback and audio-book formats. If you're like Glenn, maybe you too are searching for something more in vampire stories. If you are, please take a look at what Glenn has written so far. Hope you enjoy what you find!

Thank you.

Halloween Ball at Dracula's Castle by Glenn Stevens features two Dallas cheerleaders called Jill and Vickie, who win tickets to a Halloween Ball. The ball is being thrown by Count Dracula, who everyone thinks is an actor on a TV show called 'The Vampire Next Door.' The party is in Transylvania and all the usual horror movie suspects are present - Frankenstein, the Wolfman, etc. While Jill is excited, Vickie has her doubts about attending the ball and, while there, starts to believe that it isn't make-believe like they all assume. A ten-million dollar prize, however, is enough to make her forget her worries and join in the night's festivities. Jill is sure the Count will choose them. But will they want to be chosen?

Glenn Stevens writes an engaging story in Halloween Ball at Dracula's Castle. Jill and Vickie are both in college and think that they can change their lives by winning the money. You cannot help but think that if supernatural creatures were real then people would end up behaving in exactly the same way; treating them like movie stars and showing up by the coachload to party with them. While this is a short story, I felt that the two main characters were well developed. Jill is the risk taker who likes to party and will do anything to get ahead. Vickie is a little more reserved and hesitant than her room mate, but she ends up going along with her plans anyway. This works as a short story but could do well as a longer one, too.
