Avery E. Greene
About Avery
Avery is a wife and mother of one little girl, who keeps her really busy. For as long as She can remember she has loved stories and reading how people can create something that drags you in. Reading is her passion and she adores romance in any form. When she has any spare time she loves swimming, listening to music, and watching movies. Most of the time she plays the role of chauffeur for her little one, but for a moment at the end of each day she tries to immerse herself in reading and writing. Her dream is to finally create her very own stories to help readers float away.
1. When did you first realise you wanted to be a writer?

9. If you could ask a character from any book a question, who would it be and what would you ask?

Seasons Of Fate
My life had been difficult, I had dealt with emotional and physical abuse for years, but fate finally decided to step in and introduce me to the life I should have always had, with the person who made me whole and who woke me up.
Mason's life had been great, his family was loving and supportive. He had the dream career, but being in the spotlight was not his idea of the perfect life, practically a recluse, fate decided now was his time.
When Mason Stone meets Summer Clarke, it's fate, but can Mason win the heart of the only woman he's ever met who makes him feel alive, will Summer let him? Or is she too broken to know the signs? Can fate really bring you to the one you were always supposed to love.
