Tom Glenn

Tom Glenn has worked as an intelligence operative, a musician, a linguist (seven languages), a cryptologist, a government executive, a care-giver for the dying, a leadership coach, and, always, a writer. Many of his prize-winning short stories (seventeen in print) came from the better part of thirteen years he shuttled between the U.S. and Vietnam on clandestine signals intelligence assignments before being evacuated under fire when Saigon fell. With a BA in Music, a master's in Government, and a doctorate in Public Administration and trained as a musician, actor, and public speaker, he toured the country lecturing on leadership and management, trained federal executives, and was the Dean of the Management Department at the National Cryptologic School. He is also a reviewer for The Washington Independent Review of Books and the Internet Review of Books where he specializes in books on war and Vietnam. The recent declassification of his work in Vietnam has led to a plethora of presentations, interviews, and articles. His Vietnam novel-in-stories, Friendly Casualties, was published in 2012, and his novel, No-Accounts, published by Apprentice House of Baltimore, came out in 2014. As a result, he was named a featured author by the Gaithersburg Book festival in 2014. Apprentice House published his novel, The Trion Syndrome, in November, 2015. The Naval Institute Press brought out his novel, Last of the Annamese, on March 15, 2017. Adelaide Books of New York published his novel, Secretocracy, and his short story collection, Coming to Terms, in 2020. The same publisher now offers a hardcopy of his ebook, Friendly Casualties.

Also in 2022, Glenn was named the recipient of a series of awards. He was named as a luminary by Who's Who in America and Who's Who Worldwide and as Professional of the Year and as Top Artist—all for his books. Then the Top 100 Registry gave him an award citing him for "career achievement and exemplary leadership." He is also being interviewed on the radio.
