Happy New Year!

It's a new year; and, as always, it's time to make resolutions. One of my resolutions is to start a blog. Thus, The Fireside Tales was created. 

Why name my blog The Fireside Tales? Because many years ago, before we became glued to our computers, people loved to tell stories by the fire. Since I am a writer and started this blog in the winter, I thought it was a perfect name. 

So, there are probably two important questions running through your mind. First, who is this person? I'm A.E. Keener. I' using my pen name because it's entertaining and most people like to call me by my last name anyway. I am a senior at Elon University majoring in Media Arts in Entertainment with a double concentration in broadcast/ new media and cinema with a minor in creative writing. Try saying that five times fast. I am an author with two novels, a picture book, and a collection of stories. If you are interested in my work, you can check it out here:

Now, the next important question. What is this blog about? It's about anything and everything. I may regale you with my adventures during 2011. I may write about recipes, random facts, or just about anything. I assure you that what I will write about will be interesting.

This blog will be updated either weekly or bi-weekly depending on my schedule. Unfortunately, college likes to surprise me with loads of work occasionally. 

I hope you enjoy this blog, and I hope this new year brings you happiness.

~A.E. Keener
