This week’s #WritersDesk features @douglaskeane, author of CULINARY LEVERAGE! 🧑🏻‍🍳

What’s your writing schedule like? ✍🏽
Absolutely no schedule whatsoever in the initial stages. It’s all from inspiration, which can come in many ways. My daily schedule in the kitchen is long and physical, which doesn’t always make for productive writing. Ironically, most of my writing is about those long days, but I need space from them to put pen to paper. Fresh air, rest, and time to decompress creates the best environment for a productive writing session.

Things switch when I get into editing mode or final drafts/chapters. That’s when a schedule and timeline are necessary. For me, early mornings are best. I’ve always been a morning person and cherish seeing the sunrise whenever I can. I’ll work for a few hours at a table with a cup of coffee overlooking the vines, or in my kitchen at Cyrus, especially at our Kitchen Table, before anyone gets there or on a day we’re closed. On rare occasions I’ll write at night with a glass of super expensive champagne or extremely cheap ice-cold beer. And Roxie, my faithful McNabb-Lab-Pittie, is always there.

Where do you find inspiration in the day-to-day? ✍🏽
Inspiration comes in so many different forms. For CULINARY LEVERAGE, it was a need to heal by telling the truth and offering a different way forward for my chosen industry. A confessional of sorts. I had a burning desire to at least get it on paper, possibly publish it. But the main goal was to just put all those feelings into words so I could make sense of the hurt. And if I could get some healing from that process, then maybe it would serve others too.

Nowadays my inspiration comes from really different things. Beautiful things, like relationships, nature, healing, and progress. I’ve taken the time to lean into the wonderful parts of being alive, rather than being overpowered by the negative ones. The manuscript I’m currently incubating is taken completely from the most positive development in my life, and it’s written through the eyes and voices of two beings that only know unconditional love, that are incapable of lying. It’s a 180-degree turnaround from CULINARY LEVERAGE.

The homeless men of the Kelsey Rescue Mission thin

The homeless men of the Kelsey Rescue Mission think of Greg Smith as the nice fellow serving meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays—they don’t know he was once one of Washington’s most powerful political operatives. Recently released from prison for committing election fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering, he only wants to live a quiet life away from the limelight.
But when political corruption in the city of Kelsey threatens the good work of the Mission, Greg reluctantly agrees to direct the Mission’s voter referendum campaign to oppose the city’s self-serving leaders.

Kelsey’s Crossing reminds us that the past need not define the future, especially when we dare to accept the gift of a second chance and seek redemption. Coming 4/30 and available for preorder now!

In 1909, Audrey Munson is posing for statues before the Plaza Hotel and atop the Municipal Building, and she’s even the first woman to appear naked in film—but then come the horrors of the Great War, and her luminescent career eventually darkens into a trail of loss and despair.

Then, in 1990, a young artist gradually recognizes Audrey’s face on the statues throughout the city, inspiring an intricate and often frustrating search that will lead these two remarkable women to touch hands across generations.

Available for preorder now and coming 4/29!

In a land where wet powder or an exploded gun mean

In a land where wet powder or an exploded gun means certain starvation and everything worth knowing is hidden from the “directors” across the pond, Shenandoah, descendant of the famous Montour family, is sold to a Chipewyan chief and accompanies the Chipewyan people to the shores of Hudson Bay to trade furs for guns, blankets, and wares. Meanwhile, apprentice Jeremiah has arrived on the latest supply ship with dreams of advancement and riches.

In 1770, Prince of Wales Fort and the hinterlands of Canada are kingdoms within themselves, and the stage is set for the development of a shaky and uncertain existence that clings to decorum while ever threatening to unravel.

“A riveting glimpse into history.” —Professor Ann Carlos, author of Commerce by a Frozen Sea: Native Americans and the European Fur Trade
