Welcome

Back in the 2000s, my friends nicknamed me “Keyboard” because I had been a computer expert for over 35 years. 🖥️

Now I write stories that invite you to explore places you’ve never been and discover adventures waiting just beyond the page.

Start Here

• Resume
  I work well independently in a remote environment and have a long record of producing clean, thoughtful editorial work. I would welcome the opportunity to support your team and contribute to projects that value clarity, craft, and reader experience.
• Songs Unfinished
  Kayleen Vale writes to honor life’s quiet triumphs. The ones that unfold slowly, far from applause. Her work reflects a life shaped by invisible battles, steady resilience, and quiet faith.
• Stories of Pennsylvania
  From the bravery of Quaker settlers standing firm against persecution to the heartwarming stories of families building a new life in a land of promise.
• The Bronto Brothers: Time-traveling Dinosaurs Spreading Music & Mayhem
  A real dinosaur species inspires each band member, but with a musical twist. For example, Axe Raptor rocks the electric guitar, and T-Rhythm brings soulful tunes with his acoustic strings.
• Whiskers’ Adventures
  You’ve stumbled into the Whiskers Adventure Series: a world where cats solve puzzles, books lead to treasure maps, and games might teach you something (gasp).

Poetic Whisper – Independent Publishing

Independent self-publishing offers creative control and the opportunity to connect directly with readers. Still, it also means wearing multiple hats, including those of writer, illustrator, and marketer. It’s a great way to fill my day with self-affirmations.

I hope to inspire others by showing what is possible when creativity and persistence work together, even in the face of physical challenges.

I have a newfound appreciation for my friends who express themselves in the fine arts and music industry. The rewards are real, but so is the effort. Often demanding the focus of a full-time job!

Meet Kayleen Vale

Kayleen has been part of my story for a long time. She writes to honor life’s quiet triumphs, the ones that unfold slowly, far from the spotlight. Her work reflects a life shaped by unseen struggles, steady resilience, and the silent belief that even an unfinished song holds its own kind of beauty. I’m proud to share her first projects with you here.
