Despite what my headline infers, author Kenna Mckinnon has not let mental illness define her. As a child and teen she led a 'normal' life and had ambitious dreams. However, life abruptly changed when as a young adult she developed schizophrenia. She remembers the day her doctor told her she must accept that she would never have the life of which she was dreaming, that she must accept the limitations of her disease. Of course, she didn't.
As a female entrepreneur with a very successful business and as a mother, a writer, an author of many published books, she's led a life of successes that far exceeds most. Not all her books are about mental health, but she has done much writing to promote understanding of her disease.

Batshit Crazy on Murder Island
Annie’s back!
Batshit Crazy on Murder Island is out, the 2nd in the Annie Hansen Mysteries
series.
“…a good dose of suspense and action throughout and I also liked the
growing romance between Mark and Annie!” ~ Judith Holmes, Fort Steele, Canada
“What happens when a gang of vicious drug dealers hit the sleepy Canadian town
of Serendipity? Annie wakes up to the sound of gunshots…If you enjoy a
fast-paced, easy read, with a good dose of suspense and action and
unforgettable characters, Batshit Crazy is for you! Pick up Annie’s latest
adventure today!” ~ Sean Robins, author of The Crimson Deathbringer series of
thriller sci-fi space operas!
Things have been quiet on Serendipity Island, Canada for two years. But this morning, Annie awakens with a start at the sound of gunfire and a jetboat getting away. The golden retriever, Chuckles, and the sleeping Mark heard nothing but Annie is on the job.
There are a large number of perpetrators and a lot of action as Annie Hansen, a twenty-six year
old female private eye and her partner, Mark Snow, an RCMP detective track down the trouble.
Annie and her partner were instrumental in solving two gruesome murders on Serendipity in the previous book, Blood Sister, which led to the epithet ‘Murder Island’ by the local media.
Annie
suffers from schizophrenia and throughout the book her hallucinations play a
small part.
If you enjoyed Blood Sister (Book 1 in the Annie Hansen
Mysteries series), you’ll love Batshit Crazy on Murder Island.

So many friends
and family have contributed to the genesis and final execution of this second in
the mystery series of Annie Hansen, who suffers from a grander yet more gentle
version of the illness that Kenna knows so well.
This book is dedicated to her
daughter, Diane, and her late son Steve with treasured memories and all her
love. The Annie Hansen series is also dedicated to all who are touched by
mental illness, in its many ramifications, and the possibility of love, career
satisfaction, and self-actualization for those previously marginalized and
ignored by “mainstream” society.
As well as those friends and family members
often injured by our random and sometimes thoughtless acts. If you enjoyed
either or both books in the Annie Hansen Mysteries series the author and
publisher would be grateful for a short yet honest review. Have fun with it and
happy reading, dear friends!
