“This festival of metafictive fun should particularly appeal to budding novelists.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Keating inserts a fictional version of herself into her entertaining second novel. Avid readers will enjoy the playful suggestion that although characters are inventions of their authors, they also take on lives of their own.” — Publishers Weekly
“This whimsical novel is a light, satisfying read, full of humor and tidbits about the writing process and publishing world that any youth interested in writing will enjoy...For readers who want to be entertained while discovering that life can only be truly lived when you take control.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
“Short, sweet, and brazenly meta....cleverly and at times hilariously playing with YA romance tropes and its own self-awareness....A quirky little love story.” — ALA Booklist
“In Keating’s fun and whimsical voice, the book questions how much of our life we really want plotted out, and how much we’d like our story to be purely ours.” — Brightly
Praise for Dreamology: “This is a sweet, quirky romance with appealing characters and loving descriptions of Boston landmarks…Keating is particularly good at capturing the surreal nature of dreams. Give this one to fans of Jenny Han and YA romance.” — School Library Journal

I have been struggling to find books that I enjoy for some time now, especially with fiction. I ordered Finding Endurance on whim, having seen many positive views on the Good Book Appreciation Society's Facebook page, but I thought it might be yet another book that I ditched 100 pages in/100 pages from the end because I really didn't care what happened to the characters. How wrong could I be? I've been obsessed with polar travel for years, but I knew that this book was not going to be another rehash of the amazing Shackleton and his achievements. Well, it blew my hair back, as they say in the classics. Darrel Bristow Bovey has created a masterpiece! It is funny, sad, mind-blowing and the best book I've read in years. It is certainly the best South African book in a VERY long time. I'm telling everyone to read it, as i think everyone will get something out of it. I'm dreading finishing it, and may have to just read it again immediately!
I enjoyed Heartless and have read all the books in that series. However, the new series's books, starting with Wild Love, I can't find. Is there a particular reason why you don't stock it?
I would urge any reader who thrive on obtaining knowledge on how to start or persue your dream of own business.
Intriguing sad at times, anxious when he loose his job and kids are small and everyone turn their face the other way. Doors closed in his face begging for assistance.
He did not give up. He has become one of the most iconic business men of our time.
