Keith Soares
From an early age, Keith has been fascinated by storytelling. This has been expressed in a number of ways: through art, music, even computer programming for game development. Ideas for various works of fiction have been rolling around in his head for a long time. Writing in earnest, however, did not start until late 2012.
His interests and influences range from authors like Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, J.R.R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, and Stephen Donaldson, to popular fiction and music. Having worked for years as a graphic designer, then art director and project leader for creative works and games, Keith is extremely influenced by visuals and visual thinking. In his work, he tries to maintain a sense of realness amid the surreal, and evoke images in the minds of readers. The Oasis of Filth is Keith’s first published book, with The Hopeless Pastures scheduled to follow in late 2013.
The Oasis of Filth
The Oasis of Filth consists of two books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
