Behind the Neon
Sure, he'd taught criminology and martial arts for twenty-five years, but could he make it in the real world? That's the question that plagues Dr. Francis Xavier Kelley when he retires and joins Nutmeg Protection and Investigations. The owners find him a case no one else wants. For good reason. Twenty-one year old Judy has been gone for three years. The police don't care. The only reason her mother cares now is because of her new husband -- a wealthy widower dedicated to his own children who encourages his wife to reconcile with her daughter. Kelly's search for Judy takes him into a world he barely knew existed. Judy has been living in a network of strippers, drugs, prostitution, slavery, and violence. And now she is on the run. She doesn't make it easy. Neither does her pimp, who will kill her if he can find her. All of Kelly's skills and knowledge will be needed if he is to find Judy first. With his companion, a large black German Shepherd named Ma Hergen's Boston Noir, Kelly follows Judy from the suburbs of Connecticut to the pay for sex worlds of Tampa and Miami as he searches for Judy as well as himself.
The Unwilling Pawn
The battle for the soul of a country knows no boundaries. The son of a Turkish legislator comes to New Haven, Connecticut to study law. He is pursued by terrorists. If caught he will be held for ransom: his father's political influence which will help determine whether Turkey remains a secular democracy or moves closer to becoming an Islamic theocracy. It's up to Frank Kelly and his colleagues at Nutmeg Security and Investigation to protect the young man. They must do so while maintaining absolute secrecy. In order to prevent an international incident from developing, neither the F.B.I. nor Turkish intelligence agents can be allowed to interfere. In addition to his colleagues at Nutmeg, Frank is joined in his efforts by Professor Eve Karam, a former Sister of Mercy. An expert on the Abrahamic religions and the varieties of Islamic thought and practice, Professor Karam challenges Frank intellectually, emotionally, and intimately. As always, his Schutzhund trained German Shepherd, Ma Hergen's Boston Noir, is at Frank's side.
The Corner of My Eye
All writing is autobiographical. The continuum, though, is quite broad. In this collection of short stories, essays, and poetry Keller ranges from the very personal, a November voyage from Virginia to Bermuda on a thirty-five-foot boat, to a short story in which the characters' lives are changed because someone gets the flu. Serious stuff is here as well. In an essay on freedom and courage Keller considers Unitarian Universalism through the lens of Stephen Prothero's God Is Not One. He wonders about the "curse" of being human and draws upon the work of theologian Paul Tillich to suggest that the "courage to be" is what makes us fully human. The poetry is personal and at times playful. Anyone who has ever traveled alone for business will resonate with Pittsburgh Airport and the fantasies that can enter one's mind while waiting for a plane. These are short works, good reading for a variety of moods, places, and time constraints.

Tír Na NÓg
From the 'Little Famine' in Ireland during 1879 to the summer of 2019 in Georgetown, Maine, Tír na nÓg traces the fortunes of four generations of Buckley men and their families. The stories of Jamie, Will, Jack, and Michael Buckley and the challenges they face to create 'homes' for themselves and their families are told against the backdrop of one summer, the summer of 2019. Michael Buckley is now a widower. His granddaughter, Wendy, comes to Tír na nÓg for the summer so she can work on an overdue college history paper on the place she thinks of as home. Wendy's presence and her work stir Michael to resurrect the story of a devastating paper strike in Jay, Maine, that he had covered when he was a reporter for a local newspaper. Wendy's presence and his return to writing may be the resurrection of Michael, himself.
