Waves, Wind, and Wisdom : Volume Two

$14.99

Between Waves and Wanderings

The road isn’t just a path to new places—it’s a journey inward, a teacher that shapes us through quiet moments, shared fires, and lessons learned beneath open skies. In Waves, Wind, and Wisdom: Volume Two, Keith Thorn continues his reflection on travel, connection, and the quiet truths discovered along the shores of Port Isabel, the winds of South Padre Island, and the endless stretches of the open road. Through deeply personal journal entries, this volume captures the essence of what it means to embrace change, face endings, and honor the quiet wisdom found in both solitude and companionship. From the echoes of campfire conversations to the lessons left behind by the tide, these stories are about more than destinations.

They’re about the unspoken rules that guide us, the strength found in stillness, and the people and places that stay with us long after the journey has ended. This book is an invitation to reflect, to pause, and to find meaning in the simple moments that shape who we become. Because some stories don’t end. They evolve, one road at a time.

The Sunset Redemption

$14.99

After losing his mother and feeling an ever-widening distance from his children, Jack Callahan makes an impulsive decision—he leaves behind his life in Illinois and heads south to Port Isabel, Texas. With only his loyal dog, Cardi, and aloof cat, Millicent, as company, he embraces the solitude of RV life, believing it will bring him the peace he desperately seeks.

But Port Isabel has other plans.

As Jack settles into this quiet coastal town, he finds himself drawn into an unlikely circle of travelers, each carrying their own burdens. Among them is Melanie, a woman with her own scars, whose presence stirs something Jack thought he had lost. With every sunset, ghosts of his past rise to the surface—an unsent letter, a long-lost friend, and a reckoning he never expected. He begins to realize that redemption isn’t about erasing the past but finding the strength to face it.

In the rhythm of the tides and the quiet moments between strangers, Jack learns that healing isn’t about running away—it’s about finding the courage to stay.

Waves, Wind, and Wisdom : Volume Three

$1.00

Old Roads, New Lessons is a heartfelt return to the familiar, where old paths meet new perspectives and the roads we thought we knew reveal deeper truths. In this soulful continuation of the series, Keith Thorn revisits places that once shaped him—both literal and emotional landscapes—with the wisdom gained from seasons of loss, healing, love, and rediscovery.

This collection of 53 short essays reflects on the quiet revelations that only time can bring: how silence in a familiar place can sound new, how footsteps on old trails echo with different meaning, and how letting go sometimes happens in the very places we first held on.

With a storyteller’s heart and a traveler’s soul, Keith walks again through the dusty backroads of memory and presence—where campfires burn, conversations linger, and the wind still whispers forgotten lessons. Through it all, he reminds us that growth isn’t always in the new, but often in how we return—with gentler hearts, wiser eyes, and deeper roots.

Whether you are walking beside the Gulf Coast breeze or returning to your own quiet crossroads, this volume invites you to pause, reflect, and carry forward only what matters most.
