Keri Neal

Keri Neal is a native Californian who calls Texas “Home”. Growing up an only child, she was a big movie buff and an even bigger reader. As a child, she would write mini-mysteries on her typewriter and fantasize about becoming the next Christopher Pike. As an adult, she showed no interest in writing until her BFF, Cheryl sent her a text one day: “I’m thinking about writing a novel.” And so they did. It was a fun, soul-crushing experience that taught Keri about the thrill of self-expression and the agony of rejection. Torn is Keri’s second completed solo project. Her relationship with Still Moments Publishing started a little over a year ago, when she designed the cover for Christmas Treats. Thirty-three covers later, (including Torn) she is still happily involved in the creation of SMP’s beautiful cover collection. Keri lives near Austin with her husband, two children, two hamsters, and a snake. She crochets, sews, reads, paints, and loves all things artsy and craftsy.
