| Introduction | G. D. Grace stumbled on his literary gift during a brief stint at USF College in San Francisco, California, where he was enrolled and majoring in Organizational Behavior, back in the mid 1980’s. An English Professor who graded one of his research papers advised him that he had a marvelous “Syntax” (A gift for putting words together – he said that Glenn wrote the way one should write, as opposed to writing the way we talk). Because of the demands being placed on him at his full time job at a Fortune 500 company and the lengthy commute associated with it, he abandoned his college studies to re-balance his life, but he continued writing; songs at first, then poems, and then in the early 1990’s he wrote a journal that eventually led to the very first drafts of Knights of Deception, but that’s as far as he got with his writing at that point. It wasn’t until he took a buy out from his twenty-six year employer, did he resume writing again, but this time he refused to stop until he had a finished novel. With his new found freedom away from corporate life, he managed to get both his depression and substance abuse in remission, and the end result was a successful dive into self-publishing. |
