Glenn Haertlein

Glenn Haertlein writes under the pen name Hedron Archer, crafting thought-provoking science fiction that explores the intersection of technology, ethics, and faith.

Over the course of his career, Glenn has worked across software development, enterprise application support, and technical systems engineering. His work has involved building and maintaining complex systems using technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, and modern web frameworks, giving him firsthand insight into the power—and danger—of rapidly advancing technology.

That technical background heavily influences his fiction. His stories examine what happens when innovation outruns wisdom and when humanity must wrestle with the consequences of the tools it creates.

Outside of technology, Glenn has also spent time mentoring developers, supporting nonprofit organizations through custom software solutions, and serving in Christian education with students who have special needs—experiences that deeply shaped his perspective on people, compassion, and the value of every human life.

He lives near Atlanta, Georgia and writes stories that combine suspense, emerging technology, and thoughtful Christian themes — exploring what happens when powerful technology collides with the human soul.
