Married for 54 years, Keith Knowles always knew he had a book in him. One fine day in June 2024, his wife, Paula, said, "You know, Keith, you need a hobby." I had to agree with her, so I decided to start writing. I had no topic or plot line or even characters; I just sat down and started to write. What sprang from my unskilled mind was a short story that looked pretty good. That short story became a novel, which I published in May 2026. So, two years went into my first attempt at serious writing. Now, I'm hooked. Plan to see more of me as time marches on, although at 83, there may not be that much time left!
