Hi! I’m Glenna (Harrison) Thompson. I grew up in the small Midwestern town of Baldwin City, Kansas. My passion for storytelling began as soon as I could string words together to form sentences. I tried different things through the years, Girl Scouts, playing the flute, sports such as softball and volleyball, and a flag performer in the marching band when both cheerleading and the drill team went bust. All of those things taught me stamina but none of them brought me the joy I found in writing. I graduated from Baldwin High School, married and had two beautiful baby boys Mike and Bret. As they grew I began a twenty year career in the insurance field. During that career, I divorced, my son Mike married, I married again (to the love of my life, Branden), Wyatt – my first grandchild arrived, and I wrote and published three novels. Just before Sticks & Stones was released, my husband relocated to the Sunshine State and I now enjoy my passion for writing on a full time basis

Memories can be great, but they can also be painful, hanging around your neck like a tightening noose. Artist Abby Warren has left her past behind her and moved to St. Louis to escape her guilt, blaming herself for her best friend Holly’s death and wondering about Holly’s rape that preceded it. But then fate intervenes and Abby’s world becomes unglued. When Abby’s father is hospitalized, she has no choice but to go home to Mill’s Pond, Kansas, to help out with the family’s lumber yard business. With much reluctance, Abby takes her new found feline friend and heads to the place she once called home. Now Abby must confront her past and the two brothers who will reenter her future. One brother cares about her while the other is eager to bring up the past and send her packing. Now Abby has to confront her past memories and face the man who turned a town against her. But when things get dangerous, Abby finds herself a renewed target. But just who is out to get her and why?
"Sticks & Stones" by Glenna Thompson is a love story with a mystery in the mix set in Kansas. Glenna Thompson has a natural way of describing small town life and the close-knit community that binds families together through the good and the bad. Abby’s story is really touching and she is a great character to get to know. A good read by a talented writer.
