Keith Bishop

Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Bishop earned his BBA at the University of Cincinnati in 1983 with majors in finance and management. Upon graduation, the future author moved to Chicago and acquired the science of trading options under the tutelage of two of Chicago's largest derivatives traders at that time.

Mr. Bishop moved to London in 1994 and collaborated with another key partner in a London trading operation before returning to the U.S., where he entered the energy trading business.

After working on the energy trading desks for two major firms, Mr. Bishop joined a large software company. Seven years later he resigned to write SLOP - The Wild Boar Nation (issued November 2013). In the spring of 2014 Bishop published Dusty the Cat; In Search of Healthcare; A Love Story. A short narrative, Dusty is a whimsical look at healthcare from a stray cat's perspective. While SLOP creatively warns of the dangers of extremism in America, Bishop's follow up to SLOP titled The Republican Bond - Returning Negative Yields (January 2016), rattles readers as violence erupts in the 2016 presidential election leading to an American Spring. Bishop then published the short story Make the Dog Park Great Again, warning readers of the dangers of a Trump presidency. Soon afterwards, The Remediators was published. The short story explores the human tendency to ignore others sufferings as long as it benefits themselves. Now, in 2023, Bishop has published Vox Populi, Vox Dei. A short story that will warn readers of succumbing to mass psychology in the age of social media.

A proud father of three daughters and a son, Mr. Bishop seeks to provide new perspectives for readers to see shades of gray instead of only black and white.

Mr. Bishop's heroes are his deceased parents, Ralph T. Bishop and Rosemary Bishop, who not only encouraged individuality but also the responsibility of family, community, state, nation, and the world.
