Profile Information
- Who I am:
- Though born in California, and living in France as a child, Jill Green's formative years were spent on Florida's Gulf Coast. After college at the Univ of Florida, marriage, two children - one deaf, she started teaching, helped run two businesses and after 30 years, got divorced.
What a turn life took! Now living in two countries, Sarasota, FL and Costa Rica. she forgot her French, but learned Spanish. Living alone took many adjustments, eventually she has become a self-sufficient, adventuresome individual, traveling the world, volunteering with many organizations, climbing mountains, surfing the seas and teaching ESL in Costa Rica and Florida.
After many years working and bringing up a family she has finally become a published writer with her book of short stories Free to Bloom about life in Costa Rica and the United States, hopefully the first of many. Although she has written stories and essays for small magazines, her next big project is auto-biographical: the trials, tribulations, joys and sorrows of living with and educating a deaf child who after the fact designed and now runs a successful website www.gatorcountry.com, one of the top U. of Florida Gator football websites.

Hi She Writes,
Just returned to my second home in Costa Rica and was doing those third world things that make you want to scream - trying to get a permit to cut up a tree that fell on my own property. Almost there - after 2 months of trying. Sigh. The tree will be rotted in this humid climate before we're allowed to cut it up.
On the way to get yet another paper signed I took a stack of my just published books Free To Bloom, a novel about a woman learning to live alone…
