Glen R Stansfield likes to kill people – in stories – mostly!
Born in Rossendale, in the Lancashire Pennines, he grew up with a freedom and innocence he believes children no longer enjoy. They were magical times when play was a product of the imagination; a tree trunk became a pirate ship, a stick was a sword: all done without the aid of electronics.
Crafting stories with a twist or two, and with strong female protagonists leading the way, he encourages his readers to examine contemporary social issues, without losing sight of the fact a story must be entertaining.
He has self-published three novels, Fishing for Stones, Harry and, Out of Darkness.
Contributions to several print and online publications led to the release of a cookbook Around the World in Eighty Dishes.
Glen has recently had a short story accepted for the anthology, Arabian Noir, the first ever title released by a chapter of the Crime Writers Association.
He now resides in Panama with his wife Jess, and is currently an ambassador for the Alliance of Independent Authors, encouraging authors worldwide.

Fishing for Stones
1990. When Steve learns of a diamond deal taking place in the Scottish Highlands, he comes up with an audacious plan to steal them. He and his close friend Andy risk their lives to snatch the stones from under the noses of a London gangster and Major from the Angolan rebel army, UNITA. Taking place against the backdrop of a country torn apart by civil war, and the beauty of the Scottish wilderness, the action reaches a surprising conclusion. There can only be one winner. Or can there?
Harry
For twenty-five years Harry has hidden a dark secret. He likes to kill.
Trained by the military, Harry discovered his desires in the streets of occupied Kuwait but buried them deep within his soul on his return to Britain. Until now.
The death of a former soldier releases the forces Harry suppressed all those years ago and he embarks on a crusade to free the streets of London from petty criminals.
They trained him to kill, and now they can't stop him.
Around The World In Eighty Dishes
This cookbook is different to most. Whilst some of the dishes will be familiar to you, many will not. Wherever possible, I sought to bring something different to these pages. The other way in which this book differs is that I am not a professional chef, but an aircraft engineer and author.
In 1873, Phileas Fogg wagered twenty-thousand pounds that he could circumnavigate the world in just eighty days. Of course, Phileas Fogg was a fictitious character created by the French author, Jules Verne, but our journey is real. Inspired by the book, Around the World in Eighty Days, I sought out stunning starters, mighty main courses and delightful desserts from all over the globe.
Maybe you think some of these dishes will be beyond your abilities, I think not. I prepared, cooked and photographed every dish in this book. There are no glossy, unattainable results here. So, if you can follow instructions, you are capable of making every one of these recipes and you too can go on a culinary journey, Around the World in Eighty Dishes.
