ABOUT THE AUTHOR

His novel, The Maker’s Name, was published in 2024. He was thrilled when Kirkus Reviews recommended it to readers, saying, inter alia,: “McKenna skillfully weaves together a story of one family through several decades… This is an engaging, fast-paced story filled with treachery, backstabbing, and blind ambition … The narrative moves quickly and smoothly while managing to carefully construct the foundation for the brothers’ rivalry.” He’s been having his letters and articles published in The Irish Times and other publications since 1978. On 21st July 2024 he broadcast his short-form piece “Chickens, Hurling and a Famous Bootmaker” on RTE Radio 1’s Sunday Miscellany (New writing for radio). He lives in Maynooth with his long-suffering but supportive wife, Marilyn. They have a son and a daughter, two granddaughters and two grandsons.
