Keith lived and worked in Algeria as a teacher from 1978 to 1981, taking extensive notes and writing a series of short stories while there.

Travelling and working in Malaysia was a totally different experience and Keith and his wife grew to love South East Assia. In White Rock, BC he is a member of a small theatre group and enjoys the relaxed west coast lifestyle which also gives him time to write during the wet winter months. Keith has participated in several creative writing courses at Future Learn and Vancouver Community College in poetry, prose, film script, and memoir writing. He is an active member of a Vancouver Writing Group, which has inspired him to continue writing.
