His works include the award-winning novels "Eon's Door" (2012 Reader Views Reviewers Choice Award) and "The Book Knights" (Hoffer Book Award winner). His debut adult epic fantasy, "The Blademaster's Call," launched "The Chronicle of Jack Green" series, marking his expansion into more mature fantasy storytelling.
McKenney's lifelong fascination with fantasy and adventure began with early influences like "The Hobbit" and "The Call of the Wild." His writing reflects a deep appreciation for wonder and enchantment, often blending elements of classic fantasy with original world-building. A self-described "book knight," McKenney views storytelling as both a passion and an enduring commitment to imaginative literature.
Rooted in Rideau Lakes Township, Ontario, McKenney draws inspiration from the natural beauty of Otter Lake, where he resides with his wife Wendy. Their shared love of nature, music, and lifelong learning informs his creative process. With numerous unwritten stories still demanding attention, McKenney continues to develop new fantasy narratives that capture the magic of discovery.
