All 14 of my books are listed below. Most or all are available in hard cover, paperback, and E-Book through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Google Play, Kobo, Draft2Digital, StreetLib, and Lulu, as well as dozens of other retailers worldwide. E-Book versions for all novels are available internationally on multiple sites and libraries. If you wish, feel free to visit my Booksie page at https://www.booksie.com/users/glenda-norwood-petz-283150 and read free chapters of all my books.

The links listed below are for the E-Books and are in chronological order according to the date written. Wherever you see “formerly known as,” that means I rewrote it, updated it, and retitled it.

  1. A Requiem for Revenge (formerly known as Animus) – If you like witches and zombies, you might enjoy this one. The tag line is “the dead don’t always stay buried.”

2 – Ghost Girl (formerly known as Seeing) – What could possibly go wrong for 14-year-old DeeDee Olsen when she’s left with the ability to see ghosts after suffering a head injury? This novel takes place in my hometown of Pahokee, Florida. A lot of details in this book are actually true. For example, I personally suffered the exact same injury as DeeDee. It didn’t result in me being able to see spirits, but I sure saw a lot of sparks and birds flying around my head afterwards. By the way, the collision between me and the other player truly did knock me unconscious for a few seconds.

This is Book #1 in the DeeDee Olsen, Ghost Girl Series.

3 – Hurricane – This E-Book was narrated by Lorin McCraley. You may know him from True Blood, Rules of Engagement and Castle, to name a few. Lorin fell in love with this story and was so impressed with it that he adapted it into a screenplay and will possibly turn it into a movie. Additionally, the audio version of the book was awarded Best Suspense of 2021 by AudioBookReviewer.com. I’ll keep you posted on the movie status. I really don’t need to explain what this one is since the title is self-explanatory. The end results are what happens when people fail to heed hurricane warnings and advice issued by the National Hurricane Center. In the case of Boone Chadwick and others, they didn’t evacuate the island when told to. Then extraordinary events prevent them from being able to leave at all, forcing them to face a Category 5 hurricane head-on while trapped inside a beach resort.

4 – The Punishment Room – Touches on a very delicate subject – sexual child abuse. I know it’s a hard subject to read or even think about, but we can’t turn our heads and look the other way because it’s very real and happens more often than you might think. For 11 years, I worked in a juvenile correctional facility with specialized programs, one of them being for victims of sex abuse, and I’ve seen up close and personal the aftermath such abuse has on a developing child. As a survivor myself, it was difficult, but necessary, to write the story. And I’ll admit that I cried while writing some of the scenes. On a positive note, Joey Sheffield, the heroine of the story, was a victim. But more importantly – she’s a survivor with a knack for getting even with her money-loving family.

5 – The Children In the Woods (formerly known as The Other Me) – This is a sequel to Ghost Girl and involves an adult DeeDee Olsen Blanchard. This case involves her 7-year old patient who’s being haunted by his identical twin brother who he never knew existed. Seeking answers to help him, DeeDee uncovers a child smuggling operation deep in the Florida Everglades run by backwoods illiterates.

This is Book #2 in the DeeDee Olsen, Ghost Girl Series.

6 – Dream Weavers – If you love a good ghost story, you might enjoy Dream Weavers. The entity present inside Joan Buchanan’s new house is a whole different kind of spirit. It’s dark and evil, and it wants Joan and her kids dead.

7 – Apollyon’s War (formerly known as Thy Kingdom Come) – Nothing to see here folks, except the end of the world. Following Biblical scripture and other reference books, I created my personal view and version of the Antichrist, and how he slowly and deliberately destroys the world and humankind. This one isn’t for the faint-hearted.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Contrary to what some readers think or believe about this book, some who have gone as far as accusing me of suffering from TDS, the fictional character of Lucius Maximus was NOT created in the likeness of Donald Trump. If you see any resemblances at all between them, then you should ask yourself why. I clearly state in the FOREWORD that the book was created strictly by using Biblical knowledge, prophecies, and the type of person that I perceive to be the Antichrist. Any reader who interprets the novel in any other way does so by applying their own interpretation.

8 – The Fall of Autumn’s Becoming – This book is a story of love, loss, grief, heartbreak, and sacrifice. Autumn Marie Jensen disappeared on October 18, 2013, only to return 11 years later with no knowledge of her absence. Nothing and no one is as she remembers. Her husband is remarried, her children are grown and want nothing to do with her because they grew up believing she’d abandoned them. She struggles daily to fit into a world where she doesn’t belong and tries desperately to adjust to her new life alone, although her remaining time in Kingman is limited. Autumn was returned home for a specific reason – to fulfill a life or death mission.

The audio version of this book was narrated by Lorin McCraley and Regan Floria. They did a FANTASTIC job. I have never heard an audio book that was acted out in the way Lorin and Regan did. Each character was given their own distinctive voice and characteristics. It was like listening to a movie! The audio version is available at Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.

9. We’re All Dead Here

From the author of Ghost Girl and Hurricane comes a collection of her best horror short stories and novellas. We’re All Dead Here contains ten tales of bone-chilling terror.

Snowbound finds a young woman stranded on a desolate highway during a blizzard, a road that she was warned to stay off of. Sheltered inside her car, she is being stalked by night creatures with a thirst for human blood.

In Midnight At the Morgue, night watchman, Carlo Ranerry, gets trapped in the basement morgue during a power outage – and he’s not alone.


What was supposed to be a pleasure trip to New York City turns into a sky terror when the small private jet is hi-jacked in Flight of Fancy.


Other stories included are Autopsy, What Grows In the Garden, Riders On the Storm, Dentophobia, Kitty Kibbles, The Rocking Chair, and Scenic Route. All of these stories are nail-biting tales of fear that will haunt you long after you finish the book.

The link below is for the Amazon E-book; however, it’s also available at Barnes & Noble and dozens of other retailers worldwide.

10 – In this third installment of the Ghost Girl series, Dr. DeeDee Olsen Blanchard and Police Chief, Christi Newsome, investigate when a fourteen-year-old is arrested for shoplifting.
Sage Barclay committed the crime intentionally wanting to get caught. The reasons why are alarming and disturbing. Her mother’s new boyfriend, Neil Comstock, has taken up residence with them, and he’s mentally and verbally abusive to Sage. Her mother, Doris, doesn’t believe the stories her daughter has told her about her beau. Why should she? He never mistreats Sage in her presence. Doris is convinced that Sage is jealous over the relationship her mother has with Neil and is trying to split them up.
When Doris and Neil are summoned to the police station after Sage’s arrest, DeeDee immediately realizes there’s a problem with Neil Comstock when she sees the spirits of two young girls who have attached themselves to him. It doesn’t stop there. The number of spirit appearances increases every time DeeDee sees him. Who are the young girls and how is Neil involved in their deaths?
What no one knows is that Neil Comstock is a disingenuous imposter and murderous child predator with a dark and vicious history who targets vulnerable, single women with young daughters. Now that he’s lured Doris Barclay into his web of deception, he has Sage Barclay set in his crosshairs.
Can DeeDee and Christi uncover his lethal past and reveal his true identity before he can make Sage Barclay his newest victim?

11 – My twelfth fiction novel, The Meadows, is now available in E-Book and hard cover through Amazon, and paperback and hard cover through Barnes & Noble. The paperback through Amazon launches on October 20, 2023.

WARNING: This book contains scenes, situations, and language that some might find offensive. I did go to the dark side on this one. For example, one of the couples residing in the Meadows is a dominatrix and her cross-dressing husband. The sex scenes are graphic. Another one of the characters is described as “masturbation aficionado.” Scenes involving her are also quite graphic. Every resident living inside the Meadows has their quirks. That’s what makes them eclectic, interesting, and occasionally, humorous.

But this book isn’t about sex or sexual exploitation. It’s about solving two murders that took place inside the neighborhood, the unorthodox secret society inside the Meadows, and the members’ practice of inhumane acts to satiate their unusual appetites.

The link above is for the Amazon E-Book. The paperback launches on October 20th.

12 – Hearts of Aphra is my 13th novel and was just released this week. It’s best described as thriller/mystery/suspense of religion VS science. Here’s the book blurb:

At 3:15 a.m., the ear-splitting alarm sounded. Seconds later, the blinding white light appeared. When it was over, five hundred Antelope Creek, Arizona residents lay dead, their remains a ghostly shade of white, their bodies completely bloodless.

Survivors are left stunned by the strange phenomena. They’re scared and want answers that no one is able to provide. Not the CDC, WHO, or the EPA. This leads many of the residents to create their own theories about what transpired in their town.

Old Jedediah Hodges swears that aliens are to blame. Maizie Guthrie is convinced that the Rapture has taken place. Jimmy Ray Wheeler believes it’s a Russian nuclear attack. Others worry that a deadly plague has been released upon the world, destined to eradicate humankind.

There’s just one problem with those hypotheses.

They’re all wrong.

The extraordinary truth is uncovered inside the bodies during post-mortems, and the reality is beyond what anyone could’ve ever envisioned.

13. CHESTERFIELD

Previously published under the title of Welcome To Cowbell, Daniel Chesterfield. I took it off the market, rewrote it, and gave it a new cover.

Chesterfield tells the story of a career lawman, Daniel Chesterfield, who turns in his detective shield in Palm Beach County, Florida for a Sheriff’s badge in the rural town of Cowbell, Montana, a quiet and peaceful slice of heaven south of Billings.

The deputies he inherits are a troop of bumbling, untrained, but good-hearted misfits with no previous experience in law enforcement, which has resulted in the department being ridiculed by fellow law enforcement officers and agencies.

The team is given the opportunity to prove how competent they are when they’re tasked with solving the death of a local rancher’s daughter, whose half-naked body was discovered in an area where human traffic is prohibited. Her death isn’t the only crime that needs solving. Forensic evidence proves that Emma Cooper gave birth only minutes before her demise, so where’s the baby? It wasn’t at the scene and there’s no trace of him anywhere in the area.

First impressions aren’t always lasting impressions. Outwardly, it appears as though Emma is the victim of a grizzly attack. However, upon further medical examination, her death is ruled a homicide, and the disappearance of her child an abduction.

Lots of humor in this book along with solving a murder and finding a missing infant.

14. Lessons from Humanity: Reflections on Memory, Morality, and the Fragile Republic. My FIRST non-fiction book.

In a time when division, disinformation, and indifference threaten to eclipse understanding, Lessons from Humanity calls readers back to the moral foundations of history. Through essays that move from the Holocaust to modern America, Glenda Norwood Petz explores how memory, conscience, and citizenship intertwine – and what happens when they are abandoned.

Part history, part moral reflection, and part civic meditation, this work examines how prejudice becomes policy, how silence becomes complicity, and how nations lose their reflection in the mirror of conscience.

Drawing from Holocaust studies, social ethics, and democratic philosophy, Petz offers a compelling reminder that remembrance is not a passive act – it is the first line of defense against hatred and the erosion of democracy.

A vital resource for educators, students, and thoughtful citizens alike, Lessons from Humanity affirms that the past is never truly past – and that moral courage begins with remembering.

The signs are there. The patterns are eerily familiar. It isn’t a matter of IF we witness another mass genocide, but WHEN!

Most or all of my books are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Draft2Digital, Lulu, Google Play, Roku, and many other book outlets.
