When I’m Gone by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: When I’m Gone

This book was the hardest to write—because it was written from a place most of us try to avoid. When I’m Gone is not a farewell letter. It’s a doorway. A deeply personal, quietly honest book written as if I were already on the other side of life, speaking to those I love. It’s the book […]

What I Hope You Remember, by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: What I Hope You Remember

Some books are written for an audience. This one was written for the people I love—especially those I may never get the chance to fully explain myself to. What I Hope You Remember is not a guidebook. It’s a gift. A collection of reflections, letters, and life lessons pulled from the quiet moments between chaos. These […]

Receiving It Forward by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: Receiving It Forward

We often hear the phrase “Pay it forward.” But no one talks about the other side of that truth—the part where you have to be willing to receive. Receiving It Forward is one of the most personal and humbling books I’ve ever written. Not because it’s about generosity, but because it’s about pride. The kind of pride that keeps […]

The Long Road To Hereby Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: The Long Road to Here

There’s no shortcut to becoming. The Long Road to Here is a memoir, yes—but not the kind with a polished arc or tied-up ending. It’s a book about the slow, painful, beautiful, and humbling process of returning to yourself after losing your way. This book doesn’t try to glamorize the journey. It honors the struggle. It […]

Escape to Port Isabel, by Keith Thorn

Inside the Story: Escape to Port Isabel

Some books are written with a plan. This one started with a road trip and a deep, aching need to breathe again. Escape to Port Isabel is a journal-style reflection of the winter Melody and I packed up our lives, left the snow behind, and headed to the Texas Gulf Coast. It wasn’t just about sunshine—it was […]

The Sunset Redemption

Inside the Story: The Sunset Redemption

Some books take chapters to build. This one took only pages. The Sunset Redemption is a short story—but it lingers. A quiet, reflective piece about a man alone with his thoughts, facing the end of his life and the weight of everything he never said. It’s fiction, yes—but it came from a deeply personal space. A […]

A Warrior’s Last Words by Keith ThornScreenshot

Inside the Story: A Warrior’s Last Words

If you knew you only had one day left to speak—what would you say? A Warrior’s Last Words is a deeply reflective piece of historical fiction set in feudal Japan. It follows the final moments of a samurai warrior, not in battle, but in contemplation. Wounded, aging, and far from glory, he speaks to his students […]

Stillness In The Storm, Author Keith Thorn. 365 Day meditation

Inside the Story: Stillness in the Storm

Some books take shape slowly. Stillness in the Storm came quietly—and became everything. It started as a daily discipline. One short reflection a day. Just a few lines to reconnect with peace, with breath, with God. I didn’t plan for it to become a full book. I just knew I needed something to anchor me. Life […]
