Peter J. McKenna, the author of tales such as, "The Black Lotus" and “Misperception,” was born and raised in Albany, NY. He enjoys all kinds of fiction, but with a particular interest in mysteries and thrillers. Although immune to most human diseases, Peter 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. Currently, he's improved to writing at a sixth-grade level, which is pretty impressive for someone at his advanced age. Peter lives in Albany with his girlfriend, Lauren, and their cats, Pancake and Pop Tart, where he is working on future publications.
