Keith Pyeatt became a mechanical engineer in 1980 and set
off on a technical career path that took him from the Texas
Panhandle to Massachusetts and then to Vermont. In the mid-nineties,
he designed and built a simple log cabin on the side of a mountain
in the rural woods of northeastern Vermont. That's when his career
path veered.
After two years in his isolated cabin, Keith began writing horror
novels in his spare time. After ten years in his cabin, he left his
engineering career behind and moved to Albuquerque to focus on writing
and freelance editing.
Now Keith has been writing novels for 14 years, and he's working
on novel number six. He writes his own style of paranormal thrillers
he calls Horror with Heart. His method is to create characters that
are just as real as he can make them, drop in a paranormal threat they
can't ignore, and add a psychological twist. Keith forces his characters
to look inside themselves to find their very best before they can save the
day, putting the heart in Horror with Heart.
Keith is a proud member of
SouthWest Writers and served on the board for
four years, three years as an officer. He enjoys speaking to writers and
readers at conferences and programs and does so regularly.
