An Interview with Keith Guernsey

Today, please welcome author Keith Guernsey to Interviews & Reviews!

Mr. Keith D. Guernsey is retired after a forty year career in sales and sales management with several fortune 500 companies. He currently lives on Lake Lanier with his wife Susan and four-footed son Harley. Mr Guernsey spent a good portion of his youth 

playing sports, active in both football and hockey. In 1995 Keith was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor (called an Acoustic Neuroma) and he underwent a ten hour operation at the world-renowned Brigham and Women's hospital where it was successfully removed. ​​I am so pleased he is still with us to share about his book Father's & Sons.

Keith, welcome to Interviews & Reviews!

How long have you been writing?

25 years (a page at a time until my wife said she was sick of hearing about it and told me to finish it so I did)

How many books have you written?

Two (both of which have a 4.7 or better rating on amazon).

Do you travel to the places you write about?

Yes (both of my books are set in Lexington/Boston Massachusetts which is where I am from).

Which do you enjoy more, the research part for a book, or the writing?

Writing my  personal experiences as a player/coach/avid fan).

What is your latest book about?

Sports and life and the uncommon (supportive, involved, dedicated to my development as a player nut never pushy) bond between my late father and myself.

What inspired you to write this book?

My lovely wife Susan.

Is there a message in your book that you want your readers to grasp?

Definitely! Overcoming adversity! (in my case two  rounds of life-threatening brain surgery). 

Thank you for stopping by Keith. 

Fathers & Sons is a story of an uncommon love and devotion between fathers and sons.

It is a story of my recovery from two rounds of life-threatening brain surgeries to play on three championship softball teams in two states.

It includes a chapter on the most controversial sports topic of our time; Deflategate.

Fathers and Sons is also a sequel to “Confessions of a Beantown Sports Junkie.”
