M. (R) Keaton has the traditional author's resume: a wildly diverse series of jobs to supplement a lifetime of writing. He has installed poultry equipment, dug graves, called the rain, and worked as an environmental chemist for over a decade. And that just scratches the surface. From a literary standpoint, he has put words on paper for money for almost forty years. He has written fiction, non-fiction, filler text, and operating procedures in every form from work-for-hire to under his own imprint. He has worked as an author, editor, and publisher. None of which matters. What matters is, can he tell a good story? It appears that the answer is, at least in the opinion of his readers, yes.
