Author bio

My name is McKenna and I am 18 years old. I live in the middle of nowhere in freezing Alberta, Canada, with my tightly-knit family and annoyingly loveable dog. My favorite novel is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, and my favorite film is The Breakfast Club by John Hughes. I am attending post-secondary in the Fall, and am trying not only to muster funds to attend, but to start establishing myself as a writer. In a world with so many talented, creative individuals, I could only hope to inspire them and offer my love of individuality and writing.
