Song of County Roads

by Ginny Greene

Overview

In Song of County Roads, Ginny Greene shares snippets of adapting to country living in both the Pacific Northwest and the Texas Plains. The essays collected here were first popular elements of several rural weekly newspapers. For anyone who thinks 21st century America is defined by the urban life depicted on TV, Greene opens the window on her initiation into and enjoyment of life off the Interstate grid. Three generations of family are woven into stories about farm life from pullets to goats, to skunks and butterflies. Relax a little, breathe a little deeper, and hear the music in the wind as Greene takes us on a tour of county roads.

About the Author

Ginny Greene likely arrived on Planet Earth with a blue pencil clutched in her fist. Past president of Abilene Writers Guild, her writing life includes years of newspaper lifestyle features, a newspaper column, and a handful of newsletters, including seven years editing the Guild’s newsletter. These days she is one of the four partners of Silver Boomer Books publishing company. For fun, Ginny writes poems and works crossword puzzles. She edits everything, even street signage, especially yard sale signs, even in her sleep. She’s happiest seeing her love of words spilled over to her children and grandchildren, including daughter, Karen, also a Silver Boomer Books editor. Ginny’s grandson’s essay is included in the junior writers section of the Silver Boomer Books anthology This Path, which constitutes a three-generation contribution to the book. Ginny still has ties to her Northwest hometown, but Texas is “home.”
