Hey, I’m Keaton. I was born in 1993 and grew up in Butler, Pennsylvania. I moved to Pittsburgh in my early 20s and have been loving it here ever since. I’ve loved writing for as long as I can remember.

I like to write stories. I also write essays, poems, and whatever else I feel like working on. Most of my work stays private — I’m pretty picky about what I share — so what you’ll find here are the pieces I’ve chosen carefully. The ones that felt ready to be combed through, polished, and sent out into the world.

A lot of my inspiration for fiction comes from video games. You might notice themes or moods that echo The Legend of Zelda, Life is Strange, Red Dead Redemption, or other narrative-driven games. (Sorry, no fanfics.)

Most of my essays and poems are just things I wanted to write. Nothing more complicated than that.
