From NASA Consultant to Author with Lori Keesey S4 EPS 11

Let Fear Bounce - Tossing out nuggets of hope

When Lori Keesey wrote and illustrated a story about three puppies lost in a hatbox, it piqued her interest in writing. An introduction to Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird many years later sealed the deal. Lori decided then that she wanted to write fiction.

Many, many years passed—and hundreds of novels were read—before Lori realized her goal with her debut novel, Always Think of Me.

A former journalist, Lori has written for daily newspapers, trade publications, and magazines and worked for NASA in public outreach for nearly twenty years as a communication consultant.

She graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, where she met her husband, Kevin Berry, the father of their three sons. Lori was born in Washington, DC, and now calls Walland, Tennessee, home.

Lori Keesey considers herself among the lucky. Recently retired, Lori enjoyed a 40-plus-year career as a writer and now has time to pursue her childhood dream of writing fictional characters who make a difference.

She is married and is the mother of three boys and one dog.

A devout porch sitter, nothing makes her happier than looking at her view of the Chilhowee Mountains and Smoky Mountain National Park.
