About Glint Author JD Harper
A child of the ’70s, JD grew up reading and has fond memories of free books from her school full of history, adventure, and romance. Choosing her journey was part of the fun and is one of the motivators for her today. Since she was young, JD always dreamed of penning a story of her own. The idea for Glint has been with her since middle school. After re-stocking some shelves with books, the concept came to her. She held onto this theory for quite some time and nurtured it as the storyline evolved over time. Her idea was to write about Chattanooga for Chattanooga residents with the hopes of entertaining them with what she hoped to be a cultural experience.
