Our History Influences & Inspires Us
"After a career as an entrepreneur and writer of nonfiction books, Marcia G. Rosen took on the pen name
M. Glenda Rosen to begin a career as a mystery author. The program delves into her experience of growing up with a father who was a gangster and the history of Jewish organized crime in America. Growing up with a father involved in organized crime inspired Rosen's fascination with crime and love for all things mysterious. Rosen's interest in crime was the catalyst for her creation of the book series The Senior Sleuths,
which features a criminal character modeled on her own father."
