George C Glasser was born in Tampa Florida in 1945 and didn’t begin his writing career until 1990 when he had investigative environmental articles published and republished in international environmental publications and newspapers. Glasser’s specialty was industrial pollutants and their toxicological impact. In 2000, he married a British woman and relocated to the UK where he lives now in South Yorkshire. In 2010, he retired from environmental work to concentrate on creative writing. His primary influences were writers such as Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Hunter S. Thompson, and William Burroughs. In 2010, Glasser wrote his first book, “The Other Side to This Life,” a fictionalized biography about his experiences during the 1960s at the epicenter of the Counterculture Revolution and Vietnam War. Presently, Glasser writes album reviews and articles for the online publication, Jazz Syndicate Magazine. Glasser said, “I’ve always enjoyed writing about music, especially old Blues musicians with colorful lives. It entails everything I enjoy about writing. Sometimes, it takes ten or fifteen hours of entertaining research to come up with a succinct 500-700 words that give an accurate snapshot of the musician and the music.”
