I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I'm Connie Keenan, author of romance novels and YA novels. Once a scribbler, always a scribbler! :D And I've been blessed with a family and many friends that I love. For news on my upcoming books and stories, visit my web page athttp://geocities.com/conniekeenanbooks

My Interests

Besides my family and writing, I love walking, hiking, reading, watching surfing on TV, farmers' markets, the mountains, the beach, listening


to music and daydreaming.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I really LOVE music and I'm superhard to pin down on the type. Music comes straight from Heaven as far as I'm concerned. Some favorites I listen to thanks to my friends and family who've introduced me to them. Favorities like, say, Coheed and Cambria (thanks, Brandon!), Barenaked Ladies (thanks, Joey!), Alan Jackson (thanks, Bill!), Lifehouse, Nickelback, Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony (thanks, Pep!), Enya, Calvin Richardson, Snow Patrol, Nat King Cole, Michael Buble, Fernando Ortega, my favorite band, Nothing Held Back--and my NEW favorite, She Likes the Weather! That's my son Joey & his honey, Iris! And that's my crazy son Brandon with his equally crazy best buddy, Celine!

Movies:

Well, just to name a few that I can watch over and over again, in no particular order: Sideways, The Perfect Storm, Forest Gump, The Truman Show, Real Women Have Curves, It's a Wonderful Life, Chocolat.

Television:

I always make time for 24, Prison Break, $40 a Day, Good Eats (with Alton Brown--he's so cool!), Emeril, Jeopardy, and I used to love Invasion, too, but they pulled that baby :(

Books:

Easier to narrow down favorite authors! I love Leigh Greenwood, Anita Shreve, Orson Scott Card, Nelson DeMille, Eric Jerome Dickey, LaVryle Spencer, and lesser-known but just as excellent authors whose books I've enjoyed.

Heroes:

The Lord, my husband, my family & my friends.

Waiting is Kinda Fun

When I say waiting, I mean specifically waiting to hear on a query or story/book submission. Doesn't matter if it's to a small press or a big publisher or an agent, either. There's something magi...

Another Movie Review!

It's been a while since I reviewed a movie, mostly because it's been a while since I found one that was worth the hour and a half you spend watching it. One of my very close friends has told me she do...

And 8 weeks or so later...!

Actually, it's probably been more than 8 weeks since last I blogged, but I'm horrific at math. This entry will be short & sweet, too, because I'm just going to spruce up my page here on MySpa...

Excerpt from THE COP & THE MERMAID

I'm a little late in posting this, but here's a little taste from THE COP & THE MERMAID:   Pulling into the driveway of Jenny's rented house, Tommy discreetly consulted his watch. Ten minutes...
