About the Author
Glenn Trust is the author of the bestselling Hunters, Sole Justice, and Journey Series of mystery/thriller/suspense novels. He has also written standalone works including Dying Embers, Mojave Sun, and a number of short stories. For the record, there are no superheroes or knights in shining armor in his stories. According to Trust, knights are for fairy tales. His books are gritty and based in the real world with characters who face their frailties while dealing with their roles in the story. The heroes are simply average people doing the best they can. The villains, as real villains often do, look like us. Trust's monsters hide behind the smiling faces that pass us on the street. They look like us, and this makes them more frightening. Today, he writes full-time and lives quietly with his wife and two dogs, Gunner and Charlie. You can find all of his work here on his Amazon Author Page or on his Book Bub Author page, As an independent author, he would greatly appreciate a follow on either or both pages.
