Joseph Green-Bishop is one of his generation's finest writers. A former journalist for the "Washington Post" and "Atlanta Journal" newspapers, he published magazines in the United States and in Africa for nearly 20 years. His readers describe his writing and commentary as lyrical and moving. His first book, "Thoughts Along The Way," was published in 1985. It is a history of the United States Virgin Islands told through newspaper editorials which he edited and refined. He lives with his wife, Trudi and their son, Daniel, in the southwestern United States. He studied law at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina before turning his attention to publishing and writing.
