Five brothers.
One Evie.
Zero personal space.

Meet the girl at the center of the Only Girl Series — and she has a LOT to say about being outnumbered. 😅
Evie is funny, big-hearted, and absolutely terrified of one thing: performing in front of people. Which makes it especially inconvenient when her principal selects HER to represent the entire fifth grade at her favorite teacher's retirement celebration.

A Melody of Nerves is her story — told in free verse poetry that reads more like a conversation than a textbook.
Perfect for ages 8–12. Great for reluctant readers. Impossible to put down.

🔗 Order on our website www.keiterbennett.com.

Ummmm… 🎤

Yep. That's exactly how Evie felt when she found out she had to perform in front of her ENTIRE school.

A Melody of Nerves is the story of a ten-year-old girl with a whole lot of stage fright — and one very big moment she can't get out of.

Book people: DM this to the person who keeps asking what you want in life. 💛

Somewhere between the emails, the errands, and the “I’ll read later,” a lot of us forgot:
this was the whole point.

A quiet corner and a good book.
Reading with our kids.
Getting lost in a story instead of the scroll.
Letting words be the place we rest, dream, and remember who we are.

I made this carousel as a reminder—for you and for me—that building a reading life isn’t extra. It’s essential.

📚 Swipe through.
🕯️ Save this for the days you forget.
📩 Share it with someone you want to build a book-filled life with.

Big news, fam — UNHAPPY SMILES AND LOVE CANDLES is coming February 2026 🕯️

In this brand-new adult novel-in-verse, we follow Malik and Nia, a married couple whose quiet life tilts off its axis when Nia, a painter, is commissioned to create a full n**e portrait of her ex—the same man she once whispered she should’ve married.

Told through Malik’s POV, Nia’s voice, and the brutally honest girl group chat, this book dives into love, loyalty, art, and the kind of “it’s just work” decision that can burn a whole marriage down.

📖 Preorder UNHAPPY SMILES AND LOVE CANDLES today so it’s waiting for you on release day.

Available February 2026.
Preorder via the link in bio. 🕯️

Love candles are supposed to set the mood—
not burn the whole thing down.

UNHAPPY SMILES AND LOVE CANDLES is an adult novel-in-verse about a married couple whose quiet life explodes when the wife, Nia, is commissioned to paint a n**e exhibit.

The problem?
The man on the canvas is her ex—the one she once whispered she should’ve married.

Told mostly from her husband Malik’s point of view (with Nia’s voice and the girl group chat chiming in), this book asks one hard question:
Is it “just art”… or is it a betrayal?

🔗 Preorder UNHAPPY SMILES AND LOVE CANDLES now and be one of the first to read this messy, poetic, grown-folks story when it drops on February 5, 2026.
