Green grew up in a small town where he was taught to play pool from his brother, John at an early age. The Blue Hand is Green's first work choosing to write about a new breed and culture of pool player. His characters come alive in these fictional pages. It was high school when he discovered a passion to write. The author always loved writing and at one point was editor of his college newspaper. His idols include Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen, and Hunter S. Thompson. Skiing and golfing are seasonal events in Green's world, while playing pool and writing are eternal. He presently lives in the mountains of British Columbia with his two sons, Hunter and Graham.
