Glen Harrington

My name is Glen Harrington and I live in Loughborough (England) with my wife Lydia, my two children Magnus and Caspian, and my dog Riley. Between my home life and my writing I work for the children's charity the Youth Sport Trust as part of their Corporate Communications team.

​

I have enjoyed writing from a very young age - from writing stories at school, to covering local sports events as a match reporter, to pursuing a career in journalism. However, writing a novel has always been at the top of my personal bucket list. 

 

Throughout both my child and adult life I have enjoyed reading fantasy books aimed at young adults. Here are just a few of my favourites which inspired me:

 

• The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

• The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

• The Divergent series by Veronica Roth

• The Black Magician series by Trudi Canavan

• The Maze Runner series by James Dashner

• The Shadowhunter series by Cassandra Clare

• The Darkest Minds series by Alexandra Bracken

• The Legend series by Marie Lu

• The Eragon series by Christopher Paolini.

​

If you are familiar with the genre, you may even notice that one of my children shares his name with a character from one of these series!

​

I started working on the Chronicles of Divinia in the summer of 2024, just before the birth of my second child, to give me a world to escape into when the pressures of everyday life became too much. Now, it has become more than an escapism, it's my passion - and a legacy my boys will hopefully be proud of.
