Sometimes love gives you a second chance. Sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes it returns in a way you could never imagine.
Tyrus Cal, TC to his friends, had no plans to leave his party boy life, but when he met Ginny at an outdoor music festival, he fell. Hard. He brought out his best stories to charm her, and she returned the sentiment with long-buried secrets about her traumatic past.
When their budding relationship ends abruptly, TC moves on, assuming he won’t get a second chance with the captivating Ginny. But then he does. Just not in the way he expected.
Now he’s on an otherworldly mission to see her again. But that means overcoming his doubts, his fears, and stopping Ginny from doing the unthinkable.
Always Think of Me is an uncommon love story about friendship and do-overs and features a perspective on life that can set us free.
Lori Keesey considers herself among the lucky. Recently retired, Lori enjoyed a 40-plus-year career as a writer and now has time to pursue her childhood dream of writing fictional characters who make a difference.
She’s written for daily newspapers and trade publications and her freelance work has appeared in regional and trade magazines, specifically those specializing in space exploration. Yes, Lori was a space junkie, and worked for NASA in public outreach for nearly 20 years.
She graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a B.S. in journalism. There she met Kevin Berry, whom she married in 1980. She is the mother of three boys and one dog.
A devout porch sitter, nothing makes her happier than looking at her view of the Chilhowee Mountains and Smoky Mountain National Park.
Born in Washington, D.C., Lori now calls Walland, Tennessee, home.

I would like to read this book. I like that she talked about that everyone has a purpose and I’m not sure what mine is yet but I would like to find mine out and I keep doing the best I can.. That’s what everyone should do
Lori Keesey
If you read the book (and that’s my hope), I offer a reason why some can’t find or even appreciate or appreciate their purpose. Please stay in touch and let me know what you discover: Lori@lorikeesey.com. Best wishes.

Hi, Kera. It can be difficult to nail down our purpose in life, but I truly believe God wants us to know what it is and live it out the best we can. Maybe Lori’s book could help in some way.
Vickie
I love the premise of this book. I’m so sorry to hear about your son Lori.
Thank you for taking the leap of faith and writing this.
Deena Adams
Thanks so much for watching and joining the conversation, Vickie!
Lori Keesey
Thank you for your kind thoughts. His death did change my trajectory and also made realize a few truths: My son wasn’t mine to keep. He belonged with his true creator. I hope you’ll enjoy the book.

Enjoyed the interview! I was raised in Maryland in University Hills near the back gate of the University of Maryland. Now I love living in Wisconsin where the people are very giving, pleasant and supportive of one another. It gives me pause to contemplate that if I do not pursue my God-given purpose I may hinder another person while pursuing their God-led journey.
Deena Adams
Hi, Linda. I’m so glad you enjoyed Lori’s interview. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts.

OMG, another Marylander. Having grown up in the DC suburbs, I once thought Maryland had no culture, per se. So not true. Once a Marylander, always a Marylander. I do hope you’ll enjoy the book. Best always.
