Charlene Keel

My career as a writer began with a short story in Teen Magazine. I went on to write over a dozen novels and how-to books and multiple episodes of popular TV shows. I’ve done screen adaptations of novels by bestselling authors Patricia Hagan, Rebecca Brandewyne and Peggy Webb. Working as editor for the international magazine, For the Bride, was a joyful experience and being managing editor of Playgirl (twice!) was fun and educational.My Dell book, Rituals, was the basis for the first made-for-syndication soap opera and my other credits include multiple episodes of Fantasy Island and Days of Our Lives. I also scripted the pilot for Romance Theatre and produced (for Romantic Times Magazine) the first annual Mr. Romance Cover Model Pageant, which became the model for Oxygen’s Mr. Romance. Recently, I co-authored The Congressman’s Wife with chef Arie Pavlou for Red Sky Presents. It’s the first in a trilogy, with The Congressman’s Mistress to follow. The story wraps with The Congressman’s Executioner. I also co-authored The Tracks, a YA supernatural trilogy, for HCI Books. The first two installments, Dark Territory and Ghost Crown, got rave reviews and the conclusion, Shadow Train, won a Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Award in 2013.I also ghostwrite books and screenplays for celebrities, doctors, corporate moguls and anyone who has a story they want to tell.
