About the Author

In 2011, Greene was able to make a dream come true by publishing his short story collection in the Gay Icon Classics of the World, published by Icon Empire Press. The gay-themed love stories from over 12 different countries. Each gay love story represented a culture and a people. It touched even the staunchest of critics. When critically-acclaimed author and Jewish scholar Rabbi Stephen Greenberg was told of a Hebrew story--Halo's Golden Circle--he warned of a possible rejection of the story by himself or the Jewish community. However, upon reading the story, Rabbi Greenberg remarked that he felt it was a "beautiful story"

In 2012, the much anticipated release of a new set of gay love stories was introduced in The Gay Icon Classics Of The World II. The new collection showed a strong Asian influence that Mr. Greene felt he missed in the first volume.

Greene credits his writing talent to his mother who was an English teacher and his father who was the leader of a publishing company.

Today, Greene is challenging human thought once again with This High School Has Closets which is a controversial piece about being gay but not coming out in high school. The book addresses gay sexuality, drinking, and other issues facing teens today that he feels have been glossed over in many gay coming-of-age stories.

Through his writing, Mr. Greene continues to challenge people in their thinking of gays in history, sexuality, and love.
