“Asa’s Gift is a book infused with lethal doses of suspense throughout. I would guess or try to predict what would happen next, but when I thought I had gotten it right, another twist would come right in and crush everything.
I admit that the plot proved me wrong many a time. I am glad it did because I had to wait with bated breath for each revelation. Besides, the suspense made me all the more eager to find out what magic gift that Asa had …As a result, it made it a really fast read, one that hardly gave me a chance to get bored.”

- On-Line Book Review
“The meaning and message that is conveyed in "Asa's Gift" is powerful and needed in our current time. A gentle person with a disability is so much more aware of what is needed for survival in the world. Lots of action and a different, twisting and turning plot with a sci-fi edge make this book an exciting adventure and a great non-stop read. Young adults and more mature adults will find it hard to put down.
Action, Characters, and people that lack integrity, and people with great courage and integrity make this an excellent read.”

Things to Do in Baltimore While Having a Heart Attack is a short story collection with five stories featuring Alex Harris, a recently divorced construction manager, who doesn’t realize he is living on the cusp between life and death on the streets of Baltimore...(Read More)
“…undoubtedly has a knack for slow-building, descriptive narrative. “Guardians,” in particular, is reminiscent of Bill Pronzini’s work, which by itself is enough to suggest promise… engaging and immersive.”
- Kirkus Reviews
“Isaac Green’s ability to convey the differing nuances of Baltimore’s neighborhoods is fantastic. In addition to the compendium of “Things to do in Baltimore…” short stories, this book includes several additional, self-standing, short stories that are engaging page-turners. The Guardians of Summar’s Point and the Story Quilt are intriguing dramas that show the range of Green’s literary capabilities.”

Life and Times of Officer Butch
In this modern-day western story, the town of Stratfield, West Virginia, has an explosion of opioid overdoses. Carl Williams, a newly hired deputy in the police department, sees the increasing death toll and makes it his personal quest to find the source of the drugs and defeat the drug dealers threatening to take control of the town. He gets help from an unexpected source when a stray dog, Butch, who appears at his house, has an extraordinary talent for finding illicit drugs, especially opioids...(Read More)
“Isaac Green's novel is a delight to read! It features a 4-legged Action Animal based on the sadly deceased, real-life K-9 police dog who once served in the Morgan County WV Sheriff's Department. While the author calls Officer Butch's town, Berkeley Springs, something else, the focus of the story is the opioid epidemic.
Green frames his novel as a Western and why not! West Virginia once was Frontier and, in many ways, still is. The human hero is a sheriff's deputy who rides a pickup truck instead of a horse. And Superdog flies to the rescue through an open passenger seat window or tailgate at key moments.For a rollicking good time, read The Life and Times of Officer Butch!”
