Tressa Green - Author. Artist.


Author.

Known for her raw, unblinking look into the darker parts of humanity, Tressa strives for deeply character driven stories that keep the pages turning.

Artist.

An award winning pencil artist, Tressa has taken on the digital age with finely detailed, soft textured digital paintings that are her signature style.

Outside the box.

Bucking the confines of stereotype and labels is something Tressa delights in doing everyday; in life, in art, on the page. She can't be placed in a box.

At the desk

May 7, 2013

My new experimental serial, For Thy Peace, My Soul, has begun. Each "chapter" will be posted every Monday evening on Wattpad.

This story will run for 52 weeks, I've got 40 weeks available right now, although 50 have been written, (they're currently locked away on my dead desktop), I'm confident they'll be recovered before 40 weeks is up. For Thy Peace, My Soul is a diary type story told from the point of view of a sin-eater. It's a story of tragedy, horror, pain, and ultimately, love.

Exclusive to visitors of my site: starting this week; read half a week ahead here only! Check back this weekend for the secret link. :)

On the easel

I'm currently working on the cover of The Fall of the Cicadas, the sequel to The Summer of the Frogs. As I work, more of Claire's personality comes out. This painting is taking on the radiant aspect; she's almost glowing in the warm Fall sunshine.

Check back often to see how it progresses.

What readers are saying:

The Summer of the Frogs

"...artistry to the prose. That's Tressa Green's gift: imagery, some of which is pure poetry."

"A phenomenal first book from a very talented writer."

"A compelling read."

"I loved the book, the imagery, and the poetry. I even wrote down my favorite quotes!"

Fragile Bones

"A little freakish, haunting, but fantastic and more of a story than even I had expected it to be."

"Fragile Bones is a no holds barred examination of how low a soul can go and a struggle...with being more than what his terrible life has made him."

"It's brutal, harsh, and so exquisitely penned. It will remain with me for a long time to come, a masterpiece."

Non-Negotiable

"Probably my favorite of the anthology. So difficult to face someone you loved who hurt you so much.... It is a torment to go through and the author portrays this very well."

"I really liked this short. I thought the story was evenly paced and the chemistry between the heroes was a strong one."

"...for this story these two words: 'wonderful seduction.' Part of the seduction is Green's writing."
