Tim Green knew he wanted to write when he was 8.
“I loved football and reading,’’ the former Falcons linebacker said. “I dreamed of playing in the NFL and writing novels.’’
Green began his first novel early in his career with the Falcons, a book that took five years to write and get published. It came out in 1993 (Turner Publishing ), entitled “Ruffians.”
