McKenna worked in
the print medium for more than 25 years before becoming
a full-time freelance writer in 1996. He is well known
in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley as a writer
of articles. His work appears regularly in such publications
as the Capital News Showcase, Okanagan Life, Okanagan
Business, Profile, and Wild Life magazines. Currently,
he teaches fiction, creative writing, and article writing
at the Okanagan Institute of Creative Arts.
A writer always writes about what he knows best, and
that is what McKenna has done. Locations for his stories
range from the American southeast, to his hometown in
northern Ontario, to his adopted home towns in British
Columbia. And, just for the record, Nelson, BC, with
its quaint Victorian architecture, is a very nice place
to live, but you’ve got to watch out for the vampires.
McKenna's first fiction sale
happened in 1990, when his short story, The Other Nancy,
which is included in this collection, was published
in a Toronto digest magazine called Sequels. Over the
years, other fiction sales followed but "bread
and butter" income came from articles and corporate
copy writing. He is again diligently back to work writing
"dark side" fantasies. Evil Little Stories
II is currently in progress.
