Writing

How It Began

After writing so many songs and releasing singles I started wondering what more was out there. I never considered writing a book, (although several people in my life encouraged it) but when I found myself with quite a bit of free time in the Spring of 2021 it happened. I had the idea for more than 10 years and after diving back into my love of reading, the book poured out of me. It was a surprise, so much so that I didn’t tell anyone until I was 1/3 of the way done.

The Golden Promise took roughly 3 months to write. I started writing it at the end of January and wrote in the evenings for hours. I was so engaged with the world and my characters I often times would forget it was winter because in the world of the book it was late spring and summer. After about 3 months I had completed the book and took another month editing. I didn’t wait long before I started writing the second book because I knew there was more to the story.

I didn’t realize how much I would love writing in a full length format. Songwriting is so condensed. There is so much you need to say in 3 minutes to create an impactful song. With a novel, you have all the time in the world to tell your story and it was so freeing.

To say I have fallen in love with writing again would be an accurate statement. I’m sharing the process of writing and publishing on my social media accounts, where you can follow along.

Today would have been my beloved Audrey’s sweet 16th birthday. She crossed the rainbow bridge on 5/4/22 and my life will never be the same. She will always be the sweetest, most loyal, perfect girl.

This photo was taken on Damien’s first trip to Nashville. We went to find a waterfall that was two hours away and while there ran into a photographer. He offered to take some pictures of us, without knowing it was Damien’s birthday. He emailed them to us a day later. It’s still one of my favorite pictures. #happyvalentinesday @damien_keeter 💕

As a way to revisit all my photography from various travels, I’ve started writing stories to go with them, as well as enhancing the photos with graphic art. The stories re-envision the photograph as a passageway to another time or place.

I wrote a book! This is a novel that’s been on my mind for more than 10 years and this winter it finally became a reality. I’ve always loved writing but never thought writing a full length book was the plan, let alone something that could expand into more books! The plan is to explore this world of book publishing together as I figure out the best way to bring this story to life. I’m happy to finally be able to share it with you, even if it’s just the cover for now. It’s been a labor of joy and creativity and I hope you’ll join me as I discover this next “chapter”.
