The Central Campaign

From the Curb to the Finish Line

Every meaningful journey starts somewhere. Sometimes it begins with confidence. Sometimes it begins with uncertainty. Sometimes it begins with the simple decision to take one step forward.

The Runner is for readers who understand that progress does not have to be perfect to be powerful.

Start where you are.
Move at your pace.
Become your own hero.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

A Story About More Than Running

"Sometimes becoming your own hero begins with simply deciding to move."

Patricia Ann Keim brings to her writing a distinctive combination of professional experience and personal conviction. Her background in nuclear medicine, hospital communications, pharmaceutical sales, community volunteering, and race organization gives her stories an authentic understanding of what motivates people to move, grow, and change.

An active participant in running communities and local events, Patricia writes stories that connect the physical experience of movement with the emotional journey of becoming the person you were always capable of being.
