Glen Bonham

Although he was always a storyteller, it wasn’t until he was in his in mid-fifties that Glen Bonham decided to express his creative side through writing, which was a little unusual because the desire to write tends to express itself at a markedly younger age. Never-the-less, Glen was determined to write. He began with screenplays. Eventually his talent as a screenwriter caught the attention of a film company who commissioned Glen to write a script that took him to Morocco for the filming as both writer and historical consultant.

Then the challenge of writing a novel gripped Glen. Looking for a premise, he came across a remarkable book that chronicled, day-by-day, the life of Elvis Presley. While reading about the life of Elvis, Glen suddenly had the premise he was searching for. After two years of research and a full year of writing, Glen wrote The Elvis Interviews, winning himself a nomination for the prestigious Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
