LITERATURE + LECTURES

Brazos Bookstore is pleased to present Shauna Glenn, who signs and discusses her  book, Heaping Spoonful.

Author Shauna Glenn was recently named a Finalist in the Novella category of the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Her first novel, Heaping Spoonful, was recognized with eight other books in this category.  “Obviously it’s an honor to be recognized, but awards are just icing on the cupcake,” Glenn said. “After years of searching, I have finally found my passion in writing. I’m just thrilled to death that people are reading and enjoying my thoughts and stories.”

Glenn, a Fort Worth native, is best known for her over-the-top blog, Is It 5 o’clock Yet?, which is read daily by more than 1,000 people, and her regular column in Fort Worth, Texas: The City's Magazine, “Parental Guidance Suggested."

Heaping Spoonful was published in July 2008. Award-winning author Jennifer Nice says: "Heaping Spoonful is a simple story overflowing with meaning. Shauna Glenn's ability to tell a story in a truly candid voice makes her characters as real as your next-door neighbor. Glenn is a lively, creative storyteller – and funny."

Glenn is currently writing her fourth novel. Her third book, Relative Insanity, is expected to be released soon. She is also working on a speaking endeavor for women’s groups. “For a long time, I didn’t have a voice,” Glenn said, “but I’ve found it. I think my story can help other people find their voice and start genuinely expressing themselves.” The Next Generation Indie Book Awards has been called “the most rewarding and exciting book awards program for independent publishers and authors worldwide.”

We are thrilled to host Shauna Glenn for a reading and signing.
