About The Author

A social studies supervisor for a school district in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Keith Veverka loves writing, history, and education; all of which came together for his first novel, The Gilded Sanctum. Keith began his teaching career twenty-one years ago at a public school in Virginia, not far from the imagined location of the fictional academy in his story. Having lived and worked in the area for several years, he was intimately familiar with the state's rich Civil War history, which provides the perfect backdrop for this mystery thriller.
