In Life's a Cavalcade, Glen looks back over an eventful and varied life which began in the picturesque Devon town of Paignton, where he was born Cecil Buckland. Glen spent an itinerant childhood as his parents gave up the boarding house they ran in Devon and entered domestic service. In his early teens Glen made for London to seek fame and fortune. Service in the RAF with Ralph Reader's famous Gang Shows, as well as other successes, led to films and a role in the Academy Award Winning Ealing Studios film The Blue Lamp. Glen's career continued with a move to Scotland, where he continued to appear on stage as well as in numerous TV plays and light entertainment shows for the BBC and the fledgling STV. Working with Jack Milroy for thirteen years, he found himself in the famous Howard and Wyndham's Five Past Eight Show and subsequently starring with Jack Milroy and Rikki Fulton in the Francie and Josie TV shows. In a career that has spanned more than 60 years, Glen has worked with hundreds of legends of stage and screen, and here he includes personal recollections of stars such as Peter Sellers, Dirk Bogarde, Boner Colleano, Jean Simmons, Dick Emery, Chic Murray, The Krankies, Thora Hird, Benny Hill, Ronnie Corbett, Laurence Olivier, Clint Eastwood, Una Mclean and John Mills, and countless others. At an age when most people would be content with a quiet retirement, for Glen the show goes on, most recently in his stint on Saga FM. He continues his charity work and his road shows to primary schools all over the country.

In painstaking and often painfully funny detail, this book focuses on 500 cases where people died in ironic, unusual, or outright horrifying ways. Whether they died on roller coasters, in wood chippers, by shark bite, answering a Craigslist ad, while texting, in the course of masturbating, or simply because they laughed too hard, this book ties them all together in one big bloody red ribbon. You'll read about severed penises, concert tragedies, kids who killed their parents, moms who killed their kids, women who murdered their husbands, couples who killed for fun, and felonious Santa Clauses. As this book illustrates in lurid detail, death is never fun-but it doesn't have to be boring.

In this, his second book, Vermont poet Joseph Collier's claims of Divine Inspiration are put to the test. Does the God Jehovah, through Collier's quill, really wish to share a kinder, gentler, and more introspective side of Himself? Although Jehovah was unavailable for comment, Collier said of their relationship: "He's an okay guy mostly, but He also has some serious anger-management issues that may complicate any possible future collaborations." Whether inspired by Jehovah, or merely cheap muscatel, Collier's mix of the serious and the zany will make you think, laugh, and cry. Described by Emma Strahs' of the Burlington Free Press as "beautiful" and "poignant," his works deal with many universal themes of human existence. Join him as he tries to answer the question: Is it God, or is it Man? Will the world learn The Truth before it is too late? Can the world handle The Truth?
