Peter J. McKenna was born and raised in Albany, NY. He enjoys mystery and thriller fiction and, although immune to most human diseases, he caught the writing bug at an early age and has been enamored with the craft of storytelling ever since. In the fifth grade, he managed to fill up two whole notebooks with short stories. He's currently improved to writing at a sixth grade level, which is pretty impressive for someone at his age. An old family friend used to worry that he would grow up to be a serial killer. Turns out, he just writes about them. Peter lives in Albany with his girlfriend, Lauren, and their cats, Pancake & Pop Tart, where he is working on future publications.
