Welcome
Back in the 2000s, my friends nicknamed me “Keyboard” because I had been a computer expert for over 35 years. 🖥️
After a long, demanding career, I’ve retired and returned to my first love, creative writing, the class I always looked forward to in school.
Now I write stories that invite you to explore places you’ve never been and discover adventures waiting just beyond the page.
That journey begins with my Early Reader Books, filled with playful characters, big imagination, and heartwarming lessons for young readers and families.
Start Here
- Stories of PennsylvaniaFrom the bravery of Quaker settlers standing firm against persecution to the heartwarming stories of families building a new life in a land of promise.
- Songs UnfinishedKayleen 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.
- Enchanted HorizonsWelcome to the Enchanted Horizons Series: Where Adventure Meets the Unknown
- The Brontos Book SeriesA 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’ Adventure SeriesYou’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).
About Me
After a long, stressful career in accounting and information technology, I’m retired and have returned to my passion for creative writing (my favorite class throughout school). For me, writing is a way to explore places you’ve never been.
Independent Publisher
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 demonstrating what is possible when creativity and persistence come together in the face of challenges. This spirit finds its voice in my new work of introspection, which departs from the children’s books.
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!
Introducing Kayleen Vale
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 the quiet faith that even an unfinished song holds its own beauty.
I’ve known Kayleen for a long time. We grew up together. And I’m happy to publish her first book.
Songs Unfinished: A Memoir of Resilience and Renewal is a personal reflection that draws on resilience, hidden struggles, and the quiet strength found in everyday moments.
