Because there's something that's just not quite right about Dean. And those kids avoid him even more than they avoid Holt. While navigating the perils of moving to a new place and dealing with mean kids who look at her weird because her grandmother practices voodoo, her path crosses with Dean Wakefield.

Instead of being a new adult, it was a young adult, and focused on a 17 year old girl named Holt who moves in with her grandmother after her parents disappear. She also takes out ads on Facebook.It was still set in Mississippi, but instead of being set in Silent Bend, it took place in two towns, Victory Bend and the small farming outskirt of Silent Fields. When Keary releases a book, she sends out review copies and does author interviews with online sites, particularly. She maintains a blog and is connected to 300 other blogs. A typical day for her is waking up at six a.m., writing until the kids get up, sending Makenzie off to pre-school, and writing for as long as she can with Liam either napping or playing at her feet. Keary is the mother of one-year-old Liam and three-year-old Makenzie. Keary puts her photoshop skills to good use in her other business: designing book covers for independent authors. Keary creates all of the book covers herself, using the photography skills of her close friend and critique partner Jenni Merritt on San Juan Island.

Some of her influences include Stephanie Meyer, JK Rowling, Andrew Davidson, Dan Brown, Allie Condy, and Veronica Roth. “Dystopian is my favorite genre to write right now,” Keary said.

It chronicles the aftermath of a world where human DNA is infused into cybernetic matter. Her dystopian novel “Eden” was released this June. An Italian publisher has contacted Keary about translation rights for the Fall of Angels series. “Vindicated,” the third and final installment, will be released in early 2012. “Forsaken,” the second book in the series, was published last year. She was unable to find an agent or publisher, so she decided to self-publish. Keary completed the first installment, “Branded,” in late 2009. After finishing her first novel, entitled “Ever Burning,” she realized it wasn’t her best work, so she set it aside and started a new project: the Fall of Angels series.
