Gila Green grew up in Ottawa, Ontario and moved to Israel in 1994 when her South African fiancé's visa application to Canada was rejected. As a teenager, she spent many summers on an Israeli kibbutz, but never adapted to wearing that blue uniform and eating the heaviest meal of the day at noon. When she's not raising her children, Gila writes, edits, teaches and publishes fiction because, hey, it's cheaper than therapy. King of the Class is her first novel.
