Hi, I'm glenna rollins riddle ~ welcome to my page
I write urban dark fantasy that explores power not as spectacle, but as interior transformation.
My work centers on inheritance—of magic, of loyalty, of silence—and the quiet, unsettling realization of what one is capable of when pushed far enough.
Set against cities where shadows linger longer than they should, my stories unfold in measured prose and moral complexity.
I am drawn to characters who experience power first as awareness—a shift inward—before it ever becomes action.
My fiction lingers in the space between restraint and inevitability, where the most consequential choices are made without witnesses.
Magic is leverage. Power is intimate.
About Me
Glenna Rollins Riddle has drawn on her wide range of personal experiences and combined them with her passion for life, love, and storytelling. Her fantasy stories are more than escapism; they demonstrate how to overcome frightening situations and come out the other side.
Although they are works of fiction, readers will immerse themselves in stories of love, life, revenge, and ancient curses. Stories so real that readers may find themselves questioning where reality ends and fiction begins.
Like the thrill of a modern-day roller coaster that pushes the laws of physics, these novels will push the reader to the edge of their seats. Above all, these frightening journeys will help you realize that life may be painful at times, but it is short … enjoy it, experience it, feel it.
While you can.
Glenna is a Texas-based author who began her author journey later in life, and often wonders why she waited so long.
When she isn’t editing another independent author’s work or working on her next novel, you can find her enjoying her country cottage with her sweetheart, hanging out with friends, kids, or grandkids, or at a local club, belting out tunes at karaoke!
My writing roots
I love telling stories - probably the Irish in me.
Years ago, I started writing a story about a tree under a protective curse. After developing a short story, I put it away in a file drawer. It sat there for about 10 years.
One day, I decided it was time to make it a full-length novel, which I did, and it was my first published book, Rittara.
I thought I would only write one book, but I caught the bug and have now released 7 novels: two standalones, one 3-book series, and the first two books of what will be a 5-book series.
