The Misremembered Man

Acknowledgments

  Grateful thanks go to my agent, Bill Contardi, at Brant & Hochman, NYC, for picking up the novel and believing in it from the beginning. To everyone at Toby Press, most especially Deborah Meghnagi, for her kindness, keen-eyed observations and solid editorial advice. And last but not least to my husband, David, for his never-faltering faith in me.

  About the Author

  Christina McKenna

  Christina McKenna grew up in County Derry, Northern Ireland. She attended the Belfast College of Art, gaining an honors degree in Fine Art, and studied postgraduate English at the University of Ulster. In 1986 she left Northern Ireland and spent ten years teaching both of these subjects abroad. She was, at the same time, pursuing a career as a painter. She mounted several exhibitions of her work—both as a solo artist and in group context—when abroad, but also on her return to Northern Ireland. She has written a memoir, published in 2004, titled My Mother Wore a Yellow Dress, and co-authored a book on exorcism, The Dark Sacrament, with her husband. The Misremembered Man is her first novel. She lives in Rostrevor, County Down.
