1. SKETCH (2007) SheepLaughs Records

Ultimately that place was found in a colorful world called "SKETCH." Being the foremost sit down comedian in his neighborhood Glenn Hascall takes you on an adventure that will grace your face with a smile and leave you pondering deeper meanings that he might not have even intended.

Writing
My love for writing began in third grade when I wrote an ode to the rubber band (It actually had more to do with being struck by a rubber band than any other reasonable use). Today I write as many as 25 articles a week for various clients (almost none are related to the rubber band - in fact, I am grateful there are no cyber rubber bands - otherwise it's back to therapy - SNAP).
My work has appeared in more than 40 books and has been purchased by folks like Bethany House, Thomas Nelson, Regal and Integrity. (See links to the left)
I have three books of my own and two of them are still available. I can get the third, but it takes a midnight visit to a guy named Guido and he generally sells out of the back of his 1972 Caddy. Where he gets them is a question that's best left unasked (He's a testy hooligan).
More than a year ago I signed on to be lead writer for a series of children's textbooks. This faith-based textbook series will have 30 books when complete and I have finished my part of the first twenty-one. I was also hired to work on a series of companion volumes that deal with comprehension questions and have finished work on the first book.
Much of my work is as ghostwriter so it's possible you have read some of my material although my name was never attached. To date I've written close to 1,000 articles as a ghost writer.
Radio
Interestingly, my day job is behind the microphone. I am the station manager (and morning guy) for Christian radio station KHYM.
I also provide voice work for three other stations as well as providing imaging for the top ten Christian station on the web EZRAWeb Radio. I also write a weekly commentary for the fine folks at Ezraweb. Then when I'm really bored I voice commercials for other radio stations.
Freelancing
Original content for your website may be less expensive than you think. Original audio for your podcast, website or radio station may be more affordable than you imagine.
Dramody
I have written nearly 300 stage dramas (Click for sample). Some of them have been translated into at least seven languages that I know of and others have received a few awards along the way (Like there - just look for Glenn Hascall).
As heard on the Sheep Laugh's Comedy Show.
I have become a regular on the Sheep Laughs Comedy Show and and working on my first comedy album. To hear a sample of the the program Listen Here or you could Click here for another sample.
Snappy
I'm also an avid photographer, so I placed a few stills to your left. Enjoy (Hint: Comments are really nice).
What makes life worth living
In order...
1) My relationship with Jesus Christ.
2) My relationship with my wife.
3) My relationship with my children.
4) Everything else.
Probably the greatest thrill (in writing) was when I was told that a drama I had written was instrumental in allowing someone to see their need for Jesus. Woo hoo.

Well "middle of the month" is now looking more like the "end of the month." I thought this was going to be done before I got here. Oy. *hehe* Bah, the drive doesn't bother me -- it's just the gas prices! At least I'm out of that motel room and in my own apartment. I really like it here. Blessings!
