Judy Lee Green

Kory's earliest and most enduring  inspiration

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --
I had a mother who read to me.

 - Strickland Gillilan

 

 

 Kory's mama is writer Judy Lee Green, who has come to love her computer and email in the past few years but isn't quite ready to make her own web pages. So Kory's glad to brag on her mama here:

JUDY LEE GREEN is currently compiling a collection of creative non-fiction. A writer since the age of nine, she has published in numerous magazines, trade journals and newspapers.  She is a member of the Tennessee Writers Alliance, the Appalachian Writers Association and the Amen Southern Revelation Sisterhood, a group dedicated to writing memoir/creative non-fiction. She is a featured speaker in the middle Tennessee area, reading her work and encouraging others to write through her program Life Stories.
