About the author

Keanan lived his first fourteen years on the West Coast of the United States, then moved to the South, and now lives on the cusp of the the West.

As a teenager, he visited Central America, and would like to see more of the world, but decades have passed, and still he remains.

Keanan writes mainly fantasy and science fiction, but enjoys mixing up genres and eras, and is always ready to read a good yarn.

He enjoys the give-and-take of working with fellow writers, and has been a freelance editor, a proofreader for a now-defunct science fiction press, an associate editor for a publishing house, and a magazine submissions editor.

He occasionally blogs at Adventures in Fiction (http://keananbrand.wordpress.com/), and at Penworthy Press (https://penworthypress.com/). Readers may also find him at his website (https://www.keananbrand.com/).
