Timothy Glass’s journey is as dynamic as the stories he tells. Born in Pennsylvania and raised under the wide skies of Central New Mexico, Tim learned early the value of hard work and resilience. To put himself through college, he spent nearly nine years as a first responder—an experience that shaped both his character and his storytelling. A proud graduate of the University of New Mexico, Tim’s path has taken him from the deserts of the Southwest to the rocky coasts of New England and the sunlit shores of Central Florida. Along the way, he has built an impressive creative legacy as an award-winning author, illustrator, cartoonist, writing instructor and songwriter. Before his name became synonymous with fiction and illustration, Glass wrote under the pen name C. Stewart, crafting over 400 nonfiction articles for national and international publications in the health and fitness industry. His sharp insights and engaging voice made him a sought-after contributor for several New York–based magazines. Until its closure in the late 1990s, Tim was also a freelance, journalist for It’s a Wrap, New Mexico’s celebrated entertainment quarterly. Beyond journalism, he’s worked as a ghostwriter and story consultant, helping others bring their visions to life. From first responder to storyteller, Timothy Glass has dedicated his life to exploring—and sharing—the human experience, one story at a time. 

Tim learned early on in his career that he wanted to touch the lives of his readers with his writing. Tim’s best selling nonfiction book, Just This Side of Heaven, has helped readers the world over with its healing message. The book was an Amazon best seller in two categories in December 2015 and one category in July 2016.
