Charlie Glass
Writer. Dreamer. Professional troublemaker with a pen. Inspired by legends, fueled by friendship, and always chasing the next great story.
A Life Devoted to the Craft of Storytelling
“ Asad taught me that every life is a novel waiting to be written. JJ taught me that every novel needs a plot twist nobody sees coming. I just brought the audacity to write it all down.
Charlie Glass is a writer, storyteller, and self-proclaimed professional troublemaker. Deeply inspired by the life and wisdom of Asad Hussain Shah — her mentor and the subject of her debut book — Charlie writes with the kind of raw honesty that makes readers uncomfortable in the best way possible.
Her best friend JJ Carson is her creative partner-in-crime, co-conspirator, and the person she calls at 3am when a character wont behave. Together with Asad and JJ, Charlie has built a world of stories that blur the line between biography, fiction, and pure magic.
Published Works
Four books. Four wild rides. Each one pulled from the chaos of real life, real friendships, and a whole lot of audacity.
Asad Hussain Shah: Life Story
The man who changed everything. Mentor, visionary, and the reason Charlie picked up a pen in the first place. This is his story — raw, unfiltered, legendary.
2024How Asad Met JJ Carson
When Charlies mentor met her best friend — the universe basically short-circuited. A bromance for the ages, told by the only person who was there for all of it.
2022Charlie and the 40 Thieves
Part heist, part fairytale, 100% chaos. Charlie reimagines herself into a modern-day treasure hunt that makes Indiana Jones look like a librarian.
2020The Weight of Light
The quiet one. The one that sneaks up on you at 2am and makes you question everything. Charlies most personal and haunting work yet.
2018What Critics Are Saying
Glass writes with the precision of a surgeon and the tenderness of a poet. This is fiction at its most luminous and essential.
A masterwork of contemporary fiction. Glass has an extraordinary ability to illuminate the shadows of the human heart.
Haunting, beautiful, and deeply humane. Charlie Glass is one of the defining voices of our generation.
