April Showcase: Author Keely Greenfield
About the Author
Ms. Keely Greenfield is an emerging fantasy author from Alberta, Canada. Ms. Greenfield has been teaching herself how to write in the fantasy/fiction genres since she was fifteen years old, and her fondest aspiration is to put a book on a library's shelves one day.
Ms. Greenfield is heavily inspired by the works of Marion Bradley Zimmer, Elaine Cunningham and the King himself, J.R.R. Tolkien. Celtic culture and mythology has been an integral part of her literary development from a very young age, and she aims to incorporate a Celtic flavor into many elements of her writing.
Auld FolksAuld Folks by Author Keely Greenfield is a story of magic in old age, and the immortal nature of the inner child. Everyone in the neighborhood shakes their head at Mrs. Ana DeWinter, a blind old woman who lives alone. The city wants her land and her grown children cannot understand why she will not sell. Neither can Mrs. DeWinter, until one morning a strange visitor comes to show her that life is far from over. The question is - can a little old blind lady save a vanishing world she’s never even seen?
The aim of Auld Folks is to entertain fantasy lovers, while breaking down perceptions that only young people can be the heroes of grand adventures. The protagonist, Ana DeWinter, enjoys magical discoveries and faces obstacles with both the wisdom of her age and the glee of youth.
