The LATFOB is considered to be one of the world’s most significant literary gatherings.

It is attended by more than 550 authors, celebrities, storytellers, and hundreds of exhibitors.

Author Glenn Bell was born in Lake Charles, Louisianna. He grew up hunting in the woods of southwestern Louisiana as well as fishing in the lakes and rivers in the confines of Calcasieu Parish. Glenn loves the spicy Cajun cuisine of his native state. The word is that he makes one of the South’s best, old-fashioned pecan pies.

In “Back to Somalia” by Glenn A. Bell, readers are taken on a high-stakes adventure into the center of covert operations in this compelling and gritty military thriller. The book is excellent in a number of crucial ways, telling a gripping and unforgettable narrative.

This gripping narrative was highly praised by Mark Heisey of the US Review of books, who acknowledges that “Bell’s military adventure is a heist story at its heart. Having served as an Army helicopter pilot and air mission commander in real life, Bell fills his novel with his firsthand knowledge of the aircraft involved and the manner in which missions are conceived and executed. His writing is detailed and businesslike, and his sentences are clear.”

A book trailer of “Back to Somalia” has been released presenting a glimpse of the world of the characters present in the story. Watch the book trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKXrMYV-32A.
