Meet the Author
Ashawagh Hall
Tuesday, April 7th, 6:00PM
​
Author Michael Scott Green began his writing career as a screenwriter over thirty years ago in Los Angeles, where his television drama “The Medicine Game”, an L.A. Law of Medicine, was considered by CBS for a pilot and he was offered a job on Chicago Hope. Instead, he chose to go back to law school, and now after a long career as a civil trial lawyer he is back at it and has published three books and two screenplays in the last two years.
His novel “The Fear Within” is a psychological thriller about a New York psychoanalyst who must analyze his own dreams to track down a serial killer. Michael has been a full-time resident of the Springs in East Hampton since 2017 and he is now turning his attention to writing about the Hamptons in his next novel, a murder mystery.

FIRSTS: First anything
​
First child.
First day at school; pre/grammar/ high / college / tech.
First kiss, or crush, or teacher you loved, First marriage. First divorce. First job, car, house, apartment.
First moment you realized what you wanted to do – music, welding, writing, teaching, breaking-and-entering …
​
The options are endless and all up to you.
Now we all have stories we’ve told 4000 times, stories we repeat over the dinner table with friends – old and new – stories that just flow because they are as much a part of us as …well, our history.
Finally, local artist Kathy Buist will be joining us and sharing her work, her story and answering questions.
All the artists we have meet have different styles and stories, but they all share their talents with us. They touch and teach us.
How lucky are we?
Join us.
