Greg Lilly grew up in Bristol, Virginia then lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. The rich storytelling tradition of the South captivated him and he began writing. He first turned to creating short stories after plot lines emerged from the technical manuals he wrote for a large family-owned corporation.
Moving to Sedona, Arizona, Greg chronicled the high desert characters – past and present – in his books.
Greg relocated to Williamsburg, Virginia, where he wrote and edited a regional magazine.
Today, he lives and writes in Abingdon, Virginia.
