WRITERLY UPDATE

 WRITERLY UPDATE 

Been a little MIA for a few months, right? I know. My apologies. I've been busy with other stuff as well as a new upcoming project in the works. Nothing much has been going on in my life but I promise to hit you up with a Life Update post. 

Whiles I've been working on my next novel, I came up with some cool designs and illustrations which consist of my characters in yet-to-be released books. 

I made a portrait of characters in my psychological thriller anthology book series Behind Closed Doors, novels focusing on celebrities living in a town of New Orleans experiencing the dark world of the lifestyle.  Celebs harbouring dark secrets behind the doors of their homes and how much they will be willing to keep them in order to protect their image by any means necessary. 

Portrait of what my characters look like.

And I also made some cool merch too:

More will be coming! Like them, you can follow my Insta page @keiththeauthor and get a load of my writerly content.  

New Book Hint

In my new book, which is a part of the Bad Habits book collection, it is set in the same world as my previous thriller, The Deal which is on Amazon. It follows a retired TV sitcom actress ready to start a new life with a new man she finally settles down with. Just then, out of nowhere, her ex fiance returns to the neighbourhood and his intentions are absolutely not innocent at all. She also realizes her husband has a secretive past which she tries to investigate but she is unaware that her obsessed ex boyfriend knows exactly who her husband is.

Would give updates once the draft is done.

You can check out my books on Amazon:
