Creative Defiance Literary Collective
Cheri Keirstead
FounderIn October 2021, what was intended as a creative writing workshop became a Writing Circle with six members. We hold space for writers to explore their writing depths. People have come and gone, but three of us remain, and we’ve accomplished remarkable creative work. We’ve navigated the publishing world and found that self-publishing gives us the freedom to explore what’s possible with our books.
Bob Pritchard
Founding MemberBob started writing seriously during the covid shut down. He completed two novels Her Puerto Rican Smile and The Man Who Wanted to be Cary Grant, books he had been thinking about for years. After they were published the ideas kept coming and he kept writing. Not limited by a single genre, he wrote what came to him. A detective novel, a horror story, a fantasy series and a comic story about football. All told he has written 11 novels and one book of short stories.
