About Montress Greene

"Everybody's Got a Story To Tell"

Montress Greene was born at Pender's Crossroads, Wilson, North Carolina. Her stories make you feel as if you went back in time to a country store, on the front porch in rocking chairs with family and friends, with Howard the Goat, on the pond or investigating murder.

Although Crossroads: Stories of the Rural South is Greene's first book she became a professional writer in high school by selling book reports to classmates who didn't like to read. Her book reports in the 1950s sold for 50 cents each!

Greene most fondly remembers her time as a youth on her family's farm, exploring the creek, woods, fishpond, and going on other adventures around the Crossroads. In her book and with her stories of the week she shares hardships and her experiences.

Greene's main goal is to entertain you, and invite you to a time long past, but not forgotten.
