Originally from London, England, Michael Mckenna now resides in Japan. A gap year in Japan after university became a gap life after an innocent ski trip sparked a passion for snowboarding he still has to this day. In addition to, of course, books and snowboarding, music and motorbikes also figure very importantly in his daily life, being voted the number one house music DJ in Japan for three consecutive years in Loud music magazine, Japan, and having gained notoriety for having smashed the speed limit on every major Japanese road without getting caught.

After hanging up his headphones to start a family, his ability to spin tall tales led him to dabble in short story writing, finally taking the plunge three years ago to write something longer. He writes every day, always in the morning, before unleashing more mayhem on the unsuspecting world.
