Always Think of Me by Lori Keesey
About Lori Keesey: Her Writing Inspiration
A story that Lori Keesey wrote and illustrated about three puppies lost in a hatbox piqued Lori’s interest in writing at the tender age of six. And an introduction to Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird many years later sealed the deal. Lori decided then that she wanted to write fiction.
Many, many years passed—and hundreds of novels were read—before Lori realized her goal with her debut novel, Always Think of Me, which releases in April 2024.
In addition to writing the novel, Lori launched The Accidental Blogger, which spotlights everyday people who overcome adversity. Lori has authored two short stories, “Robert’s Prayer” and “The Note.” Both stories are free to those who follow her . . . as is an exclusive monthly letter, Something to Chew On.

About Always Think of Me
Sometimes love gives you a second chance. Sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes it returns in a way you could never imagine.
Tyrus Cal, TC to his friends, had no plans to leave his party boy life, but when he met Ginny at an outdoor music festival, he fell. Hard. He brought out his best stories to charm her, and she returned the sentiment with long-buried secrets about her traumatic past.
When their budding relationship ends abruptly, TC moves on, assuming he won’t get a second chance with the captivating Ginny. But then he does. Just not in the way he expected.
Now he’s on an otherworldly mission to see her again. But that means overcoming his doubts, his fears, and stopping Ginny from doing the unthinkable.
Always Think of Me is an uncommon love story about friendship and do-overs and features a perspective on life that can set us free.
