Bio
I'm B.A. Keating, teller of tales, wrangler of words, proud Essex girl, and author of middle grade novels, Tales from the Land of Forever, The Academy, The Wood at the Bottom of the Garden Gate, and The Last Pirate.
Long before I began writing books, I was spinning across ballet studios in London, England, where I trained as a classical dancer for fifteen years. It was all pirouettes and pointe shoes—until the stories begging to be told became too insistent to ignore.
I was born on a chilly November evening in Essex, and since then, life has taken me on quite the journey. I’ve been fortunate enough to live on three continents, calling both Auckland, New Zealand and the sunny Algarve in Portugal home. I now reside in California with my husband and our small (but mighty) fur-family.
I’m a lifelong bibliophile, animal rescue advocate, travel junkie, movie lover, pizza connoisseur, and occasional lemondrop sipper (well, maybe more than occasional). If you’re ever looking for me, just follow the trail of glittering ideas, crumpled notebook pages, and a suspiciously empty pizza box.
I'm currently working on my first adult contemporary novel.
