Growing up on the American Gulf Coast, T. D. McKinney gained a great appreciation for all things Southern and a fascination with what the community around her. There is very little she doesn’t find interesting whether it’s art, music, history, vampires, web design, or forensic science. Everything is there to be explored, investigated, and attempted at least once. This trait often carries over into her writing. She loves exploring characters that are not afraid to take a risk or step outside the constraints of society or family. And if the character doesn’t want to take that chance, she likes creating situations that require they do so.

T. D. lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of north Texas with her husband and young daughter. In her spare time, she studies criminal profiling and shares her husband’s interest in vampires, the internet, science fiction, collecting swords, and all things Japanese.
