One of O’Keefe’s favorite lines from Paradise Lost by Thomas Milton is “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven….” In the author’s estimation, a mind blessed with an imagination can race from one end of this Miltonian spectrum to the other, creating hundreds of fascinating worlds, characters and creatures, ranging from the enthralling to the mundane, from the glorious to the horrific. O’Keefe believes that the task of a storyteller is to translate this imaginative magic into the less perfect medium of the written word, and thereby offer others a seat at the latest show playing in the author’s mind.
