K McConnell grew up in a small Michigan town sadly similar to the town of Hamlet in the Hamlet Mysteries. He graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in English Literature with a minor in Writing that adequately prepared him for unemployment, a vocation he has fully embraced whenever possible. He has traveled extensively surviving numerous misadventures along the way. These days he spends a majority of his time writing for his own entertainment and anyone who wishes to listen in.
