First & Last Name: Angela Green

Current Country: Tokyo, Japan

Years of experience as an Author/Counselor: 23 years’ experience in the counseling field.

1.What was your experience publishing your first book? "It was exciting, yet a surreal experience. I had actually wrote my book about 2 years prior to publishing it. I was so thrilled to write a story that is very common and a part of the human experience that I did not even consider how it was going to be publish, whether self-publish or to hire a publishing company to do it, that after the book was complete, I then started thinking about publishing. The process in selecting a publisher was so overwhelming that I put the book on the shelf and didn’t think about it until COVID hit. Like many Americans, we were home and had nothing but time. I thought around April or May that it was time to pick the book up again and research publishing companies. I came across a publishing company that provided the requirements that I was looking for and contacted them, and the rest was history."

2. What city do you currently reside in? And what do you like most about your current city? "I currently live in Tokyo, Japan. What I like most about Tokyo is living with the locals and learning about the culture and how they do life."

 3. How has becoming an Author helped you in other areas of your life? "It has helped me to step outside of my comfort zone to some degree. I have had the opportunity to share my story with elementary students." 

4. What have you experienced as a Counselor that has helped you as an author? "As a counselor, I work with so many students and get the opportunity to hear so many stories. A lot of the stories I hear has to do with grief and loss, which encompass more than death. There are approximately over 40 kinds of loss. Some of the more common losses other than death for children are divorce, pet loss, and moving."
