McCartney Green was born in Philadelphia but spent the majority of her childhood and adult life in Atlanta. She married young and gave birth to seven beautiful children. Like many women, she lost herself under the labels of wife and mother. But she found herself again when she found writing.
"The moment I sat down with a pen and a spiral notebook, (because we were too poor to own a computer,) I knew I'd found my passion. When I'm writing I'm happy. When I'm writing I'm fulfilled. It is my bliss!"
McCartney began writing as therapy for herself and shared the stories with her friends. Soon, women and men alike were reading her books and begging for the next one. She has now written eight novels. Her knowledge and expertise in several areas lend realism and education to her words.
Now, her romance stories have become therapy for those who read them. McCartney is taking a "novel" approach to her writing by encoding amazing, inspirational, life-changing messages into her fiction stories.
The world is changing. People are awakening as if coming out of a deep slumber. Suddenly, you're aware of so much more going on around you. Suddenly you find beauty and peace in the smallest things. You begin to understand that there is so much more to life than what you thought.
Here are a few reader's comments.
"Her books can change your life. You will suddenly begin to feel lighter, happier, motivated and energetic!"
~Karen~Atlanta
~Stacy Gene~ Texas
"The way McCartney Green represents women makes the reader want to be a better person. The challenges they overcome are an inspiration to us all."
"A friend of mine who was sexually abused as a child read Dandelions Never Die and was moved to tears by how much she related to Shelley and how empowered she felt as she read it. She is now taking martial arts and self defense classes thanks to McCartney Green."
"McCartney just about killed me over this one! Four Days is a wonderful story about love and strength. The emotions I felt when I was reading were so real.Everything I read from her stuns me!"
Other Programs & Highlights
The first six books of the eight book series are now available. Go to Amazon.com or order at any bookstore. The series is also available on Amazon's Kindle.
Every book in The Dandelions Series ties, one way or another, into the same family from the first novel. The Kino family.
First you have gorgeous and legendary Martial Arts Master, Eric Kino. On his softer side, he is a lonely widower who has dedicated himself to his only son. That son is movie star, Ricky Kino, a hunk in his own right. Shelley Adams, assaulted as she walked in a park in the middle of the afternoon, is struggling with the aftermath, which includes the end of her first marriage. Her life changes when she runs into Eric and he takes her on as a student. Shelley’s daughter Bree, is a wannabe actress, and Shelley’s two younger sons, Mark and Joey will, of course, grow up to be devastating leading men themselves.
All this has morphed into The Dandelions Series, beginning with Dandelions Never Die.
This comment sums up what readers are saying about The Dandelions Series.
“I’ve recently finished up the sixth book in McCartney Green’s Dandelions Series. I got way more than I expected because the Dandelions Series is way more than romance. Sure the books are sexy, have hunky guys, pretty ladies and happy endings, but it’s the ride to that happy ending that is so much fun. I literally couldn’t put the book down. I neglected other pressing matters because I had to see what happens next. And later, when I wasn’t reading, I actually found myself thinking about the characters as if they were real. McCartney Green books include lots of action, suspense, intricate plots, and crazy twists and turns. They are sexy, at times funny, educational, highly entertaining and surprisingly, very inspirational. They make women want to be stronger better women. I can’t say enough about these books and I can’t wait for number 7 which she promises will be out soon.”
"These books are not your normal 'romance.' They are suspenseful, gritty, sexy, action-packed stories that uplift and inspire!"
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from McCartney Green
"We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be." This is a statement that usually makes victims angry ...at first...until they let it sit for a bit. Shelley Kino in Dandelions Never Die is no exception.
In this day and age in the United States you wouldn't think women being victims of violence is a predominant problem. It's not up there with poverty, or AIDs or cancer, or war. I myself still find the statistics surprising. Here's just a few...Did you know that...
* Every 9 seconds a woman is battered in the United States?
* Nearly 1 in 3 women experience domestic violence in their lifetime?
* One in three teenagers report knowing a friend or peer who has been hit, punched, kicked, slapped, choked or physically hurt by their partner?
* The leading cause of death in pregnant women is murder?
That last one really gets to me. Maybe because I carried seven children myself. This shouldn't be happening. Not in this day of enlightenment. Fortunately, all this can be turned around. We must acknowledge that it's happening. (An important step). Then we must change our way of thinking so that every person can be a happy, creative, value giver while on this earth.
