Ava Greene lives in Hawaii where she adores turquoise waters, her lush tropical garden, naughty little cat, and lilting birdsong. Retrieving live creatures from the jowls of White Boy is the worst part of her day (aside from seriously questioning everything about today's America).

Ava Greene (NOT the Ava Greene who writes erotica) is actually a pen-name for author, W. M. Raebeck, who has numerous other books, all in both paperback and ebook, with more on the way, including audio. Her most recent, "Nicaragua Story — Back Roads of the Contra War" (July 2022), takes a hard look at a people's war, on Raebeck's second trip to Nicaragua as a freelance journalist. Her other books chronicle unique adventures, romance, and the uncalculated risks of committing to the artist's life. Browse her Amazon reviews right here for more about each of the books, all different.

Coming in spring 2023 is "Ta Ta for Now — the Movie," a quirky and absorbing 'cinematic experience' in original screenplay format. Pre-orders on Amazon available SOON!!!

BIO:

W. M. Raebeck's trademarks are quirky candor, spiritual stretching, and frequent exits from the comfort zone. Her true-life escapist literature includes:

- 'I Did Inhale' — misadventures of a sugar-freak hippie chick

- 'Stars in Our Eyes' — 20 true stories of art, Hollywood, risk, love and ambition

- 'Expedition Costa Rica' — an extreme trek through a mighty rainforest

- 'Some Swamis are Fat' — a California yoga teacher's inadvertent quest (*under pen-name Ava Greene)

- 'Silence of Islands' — a poetry collection spanning 50 years and half the globe

- 'Nicaragua Story—Back Roads of the Contra War' — a journalist's hard look at a people's war

- 'Ta Ta for Now—the Movie' — lively as it sounds! Out in June '23. **

The author lives in Hawaii, where gratitude, writing, long walks, visions of self-improvement, yoga, swimming, and tennis (in that order) are an unbalanced mix. 'Farming' organic lemons and mangos (one tree of each) is another seasonal occupation—with grapefruits, clementines, papaya, avos, and cashew saplings heading for maturity.

In previous lifetimes, Raebeck was a film and television actress, freelance journalist, rascal, yoga instructor, massage therapist, photographer, model, and always a friend to animals and the environment.
