Glen Nesbitt embarked on his literary journey at the age of four, crafting his initial literary works within the whimsical realm of the Mr. Jones series. These early tales often featured comedic twists, such as a protagonist falling victim to a rogue lawnmower that not only ran over him but also devoured his entire wardrobe, leaving him clad only in boxers. In a surprising thematic connection, these narratives drew parallels to the profound tragedies of Sophocles.
During his teenage years in north Orange County, California, Nesbitt demonstrated his creative prowess by penning and illustrating a substantial 900+ page comic serial titled "Michael Man" (not to be confused with the famed director). Additionally, he and his friends ventured into the world of filmmaking, producing short teleplays like "Verbal Abuse Isn't Nice," "John Wayne's Last Movie," "Pay Schmay," "Joe & Glen Run to Disneyland," "Stop—There's a Hamburger Patty Behind You," "Everybody's Flo," "Joe's Fear of Bridges," and the "Dumb Roommate" series. These cinematic endeavors, characterized by their offbeat humor, are credited with contributing to the extinction of VCRs.
While attending Cypress College, he wrote the short stories Anaconda's Trip and Step Four and two of four plays he included in a collection that earned his first copyright: "The Plays of Glen Nesbitt" now located in a vast library of congress, presumably next to the ark Indiana Jones found.
While attending Cypress College, Nesbitt authored short stories such as "Anaconda's Trip" and "Step Four." In a creative flourish, he penned two out of four plays that earned him his inaugural copyright, consolidating them into the compilation "The Plays of Glen Nesbitt," now presumably housed in a vast library of congress, perhaps adjacent to the artifact discovered by Indiana Jones. Incidentally, he graduated Cypress College the same year as Gwen Stefani. Did she find greater success? No doubt.
As a day care teacer in Seal Beach, he showcased his diverse talents by writing and directing two musicals—"We're Off," a zany reinterpretation of "The Wizard of Oz," and "Templeton," a unique perspective on "Charlotte's Web" from the rat's vantage point. Noteworthy in his repertoire was the original creation "Joe the Alien," a narrative exploring themes of friendship, acceptance, and, notably, farts—though not necessarily in that order.
Nesbitt also composed songs for his students to perform, one of which, "An Animal You Are," later became the focal point of his first self-published book. This literary endeavor showcased illustrated lyrics infused with humor that would make any dad roll his eyes.
Presently based in San Jose and working as a teacher, Nesbitt found inspiration for his first young adult novel, "Break Out of Heaven," while co-teaching a class on literary craft. A memorable line from this novel secured its place in collections of quotations: "My Halloween costume was so bad that people opened their doors and took candy from me."
During the same summer, Nesbitt expanded his creative endeavors by producing the children's book "Breadtime Story" and the coloring book "Ruin a Band with One Letter." The latter features Dave Grohl of the "Food Fighters" singing, "There goes my Hero" as a submarine sandwich soars above his head in a colossal food fight. Undeterred, Nesbitt is currently immersed in the simultaneous creation of three books, none of which featuring Mr. Jones—for now.
