Our Carnival Glass and pressed glass adventures began in the 1990s, when we started writing articles for glass and antiques magazines such as the Glass Collector, and we also launched our own Carnival Glass journal (“NetworK”) which we published to a worldwide readership for eight years.
We then took on a major project - to research, write and illustrate three ground-breaking, unique books about Carnival Glass, for the renowned publishers Schiffer Books. The result: "Carnival Glass, The Magic and The Mystery" (expanded and fully revised, 2009), "A Century of Carnival Glass" (2001), and "The Art of Carnival Glass" (2004).
During 2005-08 we published a series of three CDs on Sowerby glass.
From 2011 onwards we have focused on researching and publishing a trilogy of 3 eBooks on Carnival Glass made in Finland, Sweden and Norway.
Glen also took time out from writing and researching Carnival Glass to write a very personal and emotional true story about the Royal Air Force in World War II - "A Brief Sweet Life".
Most recently, we have started authoring short education eBooks, which are FREE to download, as part of our "All About Carnival" series. Here is the download page: FREE educational Carnival Glass eBooks.

Brief Sweet Life by Glen Rose
|
A poignant and true story of the wartime fortunes of an RAF 50 Squadron Lancaster crew. It is a testament to the many thousands of ordinary men and women whose lives were made extra-ordinary through the acts of war.
This is their legacy....This is their story. Epitaph - Ralph Wilson Gilbert, Mid-Upper Gunner My brief sweet life is over, my eyes no longer see, No summer walks - no Christmas Trees - no pretty girls for me, I've got the chop, I've had it, my nightly ops are done, Yet, in another hundred years, I'll still be twenty-one. |
