Christina McKenna is the author of the debut bestseller, "The Misremembered Man." She grew up near the village of Draperstown, Northern Ireland. She trained as an artist before becoming a full-time author. Book 1, a memoir, "My Mother Wore a Yellow Dress," was published to great critical acclaim in 2004 (updated 2014). It was described as a "redemptive postscript to over a decade of Irish childhood memoirs, concluding that our past, no matter how painful, need not keep us bound." Two non-fiction titles dealing with the paranormal followed: "The Dark Sacrament" (2007) and "Ireland's Haunted Women" (2010). Her next project took the form of a novel, in her opinion the most challenging type of writing. The genesis of "The Misremembered Man" (2008) came to her in a particularly lucid dream—evidence that, in some cases, dreams do indeed come true! The tragicomedy set in the fictional village of Tailorstown gave rise to two further novels comprising the Tailorstown Trilogy: "The Disenchanted Widow" (2013) and "The Godforsaken Daughter" (2015). Novel 4, "The Spinster Wife" (2017), was a departure for her, it being a gripping, psychological mystery. Novel 5, "Mrs Purboy Takes a Chance," her latest publication, was released in April 2023. At present she's working on her 9th book, a work of non-fiction entitled "The Dark Sacrament, Book 2." Like its predecessor, it explores exorcism and the paranormal.
