Books by this author

"This tale of Eugene Ahern's evolution from boyhood to manhood in rural Pennsylvania is a lush story of time and place, entwined with an engrossing plot that reveals just enough. O'Keeffe's adroit use of rich, descriptive prose and attention to detail draw us deeply into the era and location, yet its message and appeal are universal. Though it's tempting to read the novel quickly to discover what happens to Eugene and his friends, take the time to savor the beauty and elegance of O'Keeffe's use of language. These passages are sure to touch a place in your soul, as does the tale. Enjoy!" --Donna M. Leuke, author and former editor of The Beacon.

Small, nondescript booklets, each containing ten poems of ten lines per poem. Easily concealed from your boss, teacher, or that nosy so-and-so who's always looking over your shoulder when not consumed by their mobile phone.

Each poem in the collection is guaranteed to be free of obscurity, syrupy notions, or convoluted thoughts that require severe mental gymnastics to even comprehend.

Sold in packets of ten. Good for simple gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors (do people still do that?), or just as opportunities to switch out your pocket between Volumes 1 and 2 so you are always ready with some fresh doggerel in an empty moment.
