Kiera McKenna<\/strong> discovered her love for storytelling in the shadow of ancient Scottish castles, where family legends whispered of women who preserved wisdom in the margins of illuminated manuscripts and the patterns of hand-woven cloth. Born with an insatiable curiosity for Celtic mythology and a deep fascination with the ways forgotten knowledge survives across generations, she writes stories where the past refuses to stay buried and magic stirs in the spaces between the mundane and the mystical.<\/p>\n

Her debut series, Eldritch Curiosities<\/strong>, beginning with The Dragon’s Harp<\/em><\/a>\u00a0from Totally Entwined Group, explores the darkly lyrical world of dragon shifters and magical artifacts, where ancient bonds burn as fierce as dragonfire and one woman’s touch can reshape destiny itself. In this shadow-laced blend of myth, mystery, and slow-burn attraction, Kiera crafts tales of reverse harem romance where Scottish Highland magic collides with modern desire, and where belonging means embracing both secrets and scars.<\/p>\n

Her upcoming series, Keeper’s Legacy<\/strong>, from Novel Concepts Publishing, ventures into different territory entirely\u2014contemporary magical realism where struggling academics inherit forgotten properties across Scotland and Appalachia, only to discover that their neurodivergent minds are the keys to unlocking ancestral wisdom encoded in textiles, manuscripts, and ancient crafts. These interconnected novels celebrate the brilliant women who preserved cultural knowledge across centuries, proving that what society calls “different” might actually be humanity’s greatest gift.<\/p>\n

Whether writing about dragon shifters who share mystical bonds or historians decoding quilted archives, Kiera believes the best stories are those that challenge everything we thought we knew about destiny, power, and what it means to belong. Her heroines don’t just find their place in the world\u2014they claim their fire, embrace their magic, and forge connections that burn bright enough to light up the darkness.<\/p>\n

When she’s not crafting tales of gothic romance or cultural preservation, Kiera can be found haunting antique shops, researching ancient folklore, and dreaming of misty moors where dragons might still soar and forgotten wisdom waits to be discovered in the patterns of a grandmother’s quilt.<\/p>\n

On her writing philosophy:<\/strong> “I don’t write escapist fantasy\u2014I write fantasy that helps us escape into ourselves. My readers aren’t looking to forget their world; they’re looking to remember their own magic, their own worth, their own capacity to reshape their story. The best compliment I ever received was from a reader who said my books made her feel like her neurodivergent mind wasn’t broken, it was just tuned to a different frequency\u2014one that might be picking up signals the rest of us are missing.”<\/p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer Section” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”110px||110px|” global_colors_info=”{}” global_module=”718″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ admin_label=”Footer Area” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Alice||||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”20%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
