As for her influences, she cites “Wuthering Heights” for its great sense of place and evocation of mood while she loves the style and simplicity of Ernest Hemingway. However, Green does find the subject somewhat interesting due to the social issues that arise from them such as witch hunts. While she writes fantasy novels full of witches, she has never been a huge reader of fantasy novels or a consumer of fantasy films. She has been addicted to storytelling ever since. She had started writing on a whim in 2010 and only intended to pen a short story which soon turned into a manuscript for a full-length novel. Nonetheless, she always loved writing even though much of what she did was pen financial reports in her former life as an accountant. Unlike many novelists, Sally was never a creative person and hence she surprised family, friends, and even herself with her success. She also scored a movie deal not long after she published the debut novel in 2014. The trilogy it spawned has since been licensed to publishers across more than 42 countries. She had almost immediate success with her debut novel “Half Bad” getting a million-pound advance even before it as published. Sally Green is a British young adult fantasy fiction author best known for her debut trilogy “Half Bad.” She started her career as an accountant and then a full-time mother before she decided to try her hand at writing.
