Glover was a BBC radio producer and presenter.[3] One of his last radio broadcasts was an episode of The Countryside in Summer, broadcast in 1974.[4]
He wrote articles for The Country Gentleman magazine under the pen name of Julian Grey.[3] He wrote short stories and articles for various publications, including the Australian Woman's Mirror,[5] Lilliput,[6][7] the Radio Times,[8] and the Wireless Weekly.[9]
His first two novels were published by Geoffrey Bles, a London publisher with a reputation for spotting new talent. His son, Julian, described him as a "drunken journalist … hopeless with women".[10]
