In 2021, Ellysian Press published Fate Accompli, the first book in Keith's humorous mythic fiction series, The Water Nymph Gospels. Fate Accompli was a 2021 Foreword INDIES Finalist for Best Book of the Year (Humor). Life Indigo, which is Book 2 of the series, is a revised and expanded edition of Kasper Mützenmacher's Cursed Hat (Curiosity Quills, 2017), a 2017 Foreword INDIES Finalist (Fantasy). Keith also has published short stories, one of which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and humor pieces in Defenestration and The Satirist.
Keith recently retired from the Federal Trade Commission, where he practiced consumer protection law. He now works for an industry self-regulatory organization focused on responsible food and beverage marketing. A proud graduate of the University of Michigan (B.A., Philosophy, J.D.), Keith lives in Kensington, Maryland with his wife, Laura, also a Michigan alum, and their dogs Lulu and Archie, who sadly remain illiterate. Their adult son Stoney is a computer software engineer in New York City. Their beloved daughter Bay passed away in 2021. Her fighting spirit and offbeat sense of humor continue to inspire.
