The main character, John Hazard, is a former police detective turned paranormal investigator. Many more adventures are planned for John and readers are invited to stay tuned. "Ghost Wars" is coming.
J.H. Glaze has also developed a short story series entitled, "The Horror Challenge", whereby he solicits his readers for a word or phrase that he will twist into a theme or prop in one of his engaging short stories, usually in 2,000 words or less.

Glaze has expanded into the realms of romance and science fiction, while maintaining his compelling storytelling style.
