Who Is McKenna

I live in the mountains of Colorado and have an abnormal relationship with coffee and books. If I am not reading or making cold brew, I am writing. Storytelling is a large part of my life, and I am a firm believer that stories connect us, no matter where we are in the world. 

I am an avid horror, sci-fi, and fantasy lover. Some of my favorite works include Heart-Shaped Box, The Exorcist, Dune, Eragon, and The Year of the Witching. I grew up on Stephen King, with Doctor Sleep, Carrie, and Mr. Mercedes being my favorites. I've got a massive collection of books, which will eventually get me in trouble one day when I have to move them. We won't talk about that.

The Vorelian Saga was born out of my deep fascination with what makes us human. From our faults, nightmares, dreams, to what defines our motivation. The story is complex and ever-expanding, but it is driven by themes of redemption, self-discovery, betrayal, and forgiveness.

When I started writing, I was only about 8 or 9 years old. Since then, I've collected almost every story I wrote. I know, it's weird. One day, I might part with those old notebooks. 

That said, I love being a part of a community of readers and writers that are all over the world. When I started this journey to publish, I made a social media account for the first time, and I was terrified. Since then, I have connected with some of the greatest people I've ever known. It's because of them that I found confidence in sharing my work. So for that, thank you.

Keep your swords sharp, Vorelians.
