Cross My Heart & Hope To Die is the 3rd book in the series starts with Greg and Nina's relationship in trouble. Greg's investigative nature and his work with Benny the Knife are too dangerous for anyone who's close to him. Benny draws Greg into another seemingly benign venture involving his son's innovative new tech. This draws him into a dark plot that involves the FBI, a new love interest, and corporate espionage. It's got Hellman's trademark humor and quick turns, which will keep you flipping pages until the end.

Write to Die - a Masterpiece of Suspense and Depth
Glenn Hellman, a legend in the Washington tech scene, has outdone himself with his latest book, "Write to Die." As a fan who has read his previous works, I can confidently say this is his best yet. This gripping novel is a roller-coaster journey through a web of crime and corruption that ensnares its protagonist, Greg, a blogger known as the Grumpy Geekster.
From the very first page, Hellman hooks readers into the world of startup exposé, where Greg's investigative reporting on a DC startup, Detectify, pulls him into a treacherous criminal underworld. The plot is meticulously crafted, taking you on a suspenseful ride where the stakes rise with every twist and turn. Greg’s quest for truth becomes a life-and-death struggle, not just for him but for everyone close to him.
What makes "Write to Die" stand out is its seamless blend of intense action and deep introspection. Hellman delves into the psyche of his protagonist, exploring themes of redemption, the moral ambiguities of justice, and the high price of truth in a world where corruption runs rampant. The emotional depth adds layers to the story, elevating it beyond a standard thriller to a profound exploration of human nature.
If you're looking for a novel that will captivate you with its suspense and stay with you long after you've turned the last page, "Write to Die" is an absolute must-read. Glenn Hellman has crafted a riveting tale that cements his status as a master storyteller—and I don’t think it is all fiction…

Intentional Leadership lays out a clear model for leadership. Using his own life lessons, Glen made it memorable and using his own life pains to tell the story, is a great way to lead others toward a clearer glimpse of their leadership style. How can a book on leadership be fun? Alot of little but tethered stories on the journey to becoming a leader. I highly highly recommend the book. 2 hour read with 6 hours of potent advice.
