In Monday morning, author and former NFL player Tim Green looked into the camera and answered questions about his life, what drew him to writing and what inspires his stories.
Tim Green wasn’t talking to a TV personality. He was talking to a group of reading students gathered in the media center at Inverness Middle School.
Lita Forlong, the school’s media specialist, used Skype video communication software to set up the author’s virtual visit.
Green is one of the featured authors of the Sunshine State Young Reader Awards list and a number of IMS students have read Green’s novel, “Football Hero.” He has also written suspense novels for adults, including the best-seller “False Convictions.”
