e. keene

e. keene received her BA in English from the University of Iowa (after attending RI School of Design, acting and dancing on the east coast, and serving as artistic director for several dance companies).

She prefers writing about Iowa (although, if pressed, she’ll admit she’s been working on a screenplay titled, Paradise Rewritten: Lucifer’s Memoirs).
