Keegan and the Olive Orchard
In the Works
Hi, I’m Melissa, also known as Keegan’s Mom. He’s the heart and spirit behind these lively adventures! I’ve always had a passion for whimsical tales and a soft spot for animals. As a kid, I spent countless hours exploring nature and imagining adventures with my pets. It’s where my passion for enchanting stories took root. These days, I’ve turned that imagination into writing books, with a little help from my lively Havanese pup, Keegan.
When I’m not working on my stories, I’m busy keeping up with him, don't let that sweet face fool you, he’s an adorable inspiration who doubles as a sock thief. Aside from writing, creating ESL courses, and dabbling in surface pattern design, I love long nature walks, collecting antique postcards, photography, and enjoying plenty of laughter and chaos with my family and pets.
Through my books, I hope to inspire kids to dream big, laugh often, and create adventures, ideally with a furry friend along for the ride.
