Glen Allison

Glen C. Allison writes the Forte New Orleans Thriller series.

If you like underdog characters who overcome great personal setbacks, Forte is for you. A broken ex-SEAL, he rises from the shadows of the French Quarter to battle his personal demons every day - as he rescues stolen children. Add the setting of New Orleans, and an equally colorful and quirky cast of characters, the Forte thriller series offers a unique take on controversial topics and challenges.

Glen has been an oil rig builder, a sportswriter, a tree climber, a summer camp trash wrangler, a software trainer, a magazine writer, a burger flipper, a video producer, and a parking lot sweeper. As a kid he rolled dice behind the counter at the liquor store on St. Charles in NOLA where his grandmother worked. He has survived a motorcycle wreck, a heart attack, many Southern summers, and five grandpunks (joyfully so) - so far.

Glen's roots run from Cajun country up to the Kentucky hills. These days, he writes Forte's tales and others while traveling the country with his wife and sturdy camper.
