Laura’s Diary by author L.M. Keatts will debut to the public at Speer Memorial Library on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the library’s community room. The event is free and open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.

L. M. Keatts is the President and founder of Mike Keatts Ministries. He holds Ministerial Credentials from Full Gospel Evangelistic Association. In 1993, he received a diploma and certificate from Rhema Correspondence Bible School and Oral Roberts University. Brother Keatts holds a two-year certificate from Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute and is working on an Associate in Biblical Studies degree.

Mr. Keatts had an idea to write a book called “Window Kids”, a story about a little girl that grew up without a father. When he finally decided to sit down at his computer to write, he noticed that he was writing a diary instead of a book. That’s when he decided to change it to Laura’s Diary. As the story unfolded in his mind, he began to write the life of Laura Ann Eddy. This is Mr. Keatts first book and he hopes people enjoy reading it as much as he enjoyed writing it.

Laura Ann Eddy was born before the Great Depression and during a time when Wyatt Earp still roamed the prairie. Laura as a child had her share of misfortune as well as growing up without a father. In Laura’s Diary you will read her story from the beginning to the end with a layer of a twist.
