Nadine. A French name, meaning, "hope."
Her lifelong passion for the power of story makes reading and writing an adventure for Nadine C. Keels. She’s driven to write the kinds of stories she’s always wanted to read but couldn’t always find, featuring diverse and uncommon lead characters in a medley of genres. Through her books and her blog (Prismatic Prospects), Nadine aims to spark hope and inspiration in as many people as she can reach.

"My aspiration is for my words to help people: to bring hope, to change minds, to expand imagination, to provide entertainment, and to save lives—as other authors’ words have done for me."

I love when my writing helps people.(less)

Hello, Eric! Thanks for asking! I'd say my parents are the guilty parties here. They both were readers.

My mom took me and my siblings down to the public library for books since we were quite little, and we had a family reading club for years. My dad would put up a new calendar in the kitchen each month where we'd write our initials down every time we finished a book, and a running total for each family member was at the bottom of the calendar. Every time one of us kids finished ten books, we'd get some sort of little prize, but when it came down to it, it wasn't about the prizes. Even when the reading club eventually phased out, we kept on reading. My uncle once joked that he'd never seen kids who were so excited to get books for Christmas!

As for my writing, if I had to pinpoint a time when I got started, it was when I was eight years old. I had to write a story for school, using specific spelling words, and my dad seemed to think the story was rather good. (He kept the story--still has it, in fact.)

I've been writing stories ever since. I just put book covers on them now. :-)(less)

Nadine Keels Nadine Keels said: " A panoramic view of a sunrise over rocky hills, with The Movement of Crowns Series boxed set sitting on one hill, and a castle on another hill in the distance

Well! It wasn't in my original plan to write multiple spin-off series from the Movement of Crowns at the same time. But characters make demands that authors must follow. 😉

Reviving the Commander, first in the Crowns Legacy series, picks up about a yea

The Movement of Rings by Nadine C. Keels
"I'm pretty sure my heart broke a few times reading this, but I regret nothing. This story covers a few years both before and after the main events of The Movement of Crowns, showing the turmoil in Munda, and much beauty comes from the fiery trials."

Quotes by Nadine C. Keels  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Writers and artists know that ethereal moment, when just one, fleeting something--a chill, an echo, the click of a lamp, a question—-ignites the flame of an entire work that blazes suddenly into consciousness.”
Nadine C. Keels

“You’ll have to decide what’s more important to you at this point. Love or fear.”
Nadine C. Keels, Reviving the Commander

“You must know, there are some who say that Prince Joshua’s always being ill is a testimony to his weakness, but I am inclined to believe that it is rather a testimony to his strength. He has been ill, yes, but he is here, and he has been fighting every day of his life in order to stay with us. Every morning that he is still here means that he has won another day of the fight, and on that count, he has shown us that he does have the mettle it will take for him to get well”
Nadine C. Keels, The Movement of Kings

“Writers and artists know that ethereal moment, when just one, fleeting something--a chill, an echo, the click of a lamp, a question—-ignites the flame of an entire work that blazes suddenly into consciousness.”
Nadine C. Keels

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
Carl Sagan

“Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.”
Gustave Flaubert

“Life is just a short walk from the cradle to the grave, and it sure behooves us to be kind to one another along the way.”
Alice Childress
