Patricia Kennealy-Morrison

Chevalière the Rev. Patricia Kennealy-Morrison, DTJ, is a retired rock critic (one of the first women rock critics ever, a Founding Mother of the genre), the former editor-in-chief of Jazz & Pop Magazine, and an advertising copywriter/executive (and two-time Clio nominee). Ms. Morrison was able to interview and meet giants in the rock industry -- Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and others -- along with the man who would become her husband, singer/songwriter/poet Jim Morrison, also a member of the band, The Doors. Her husband was the one who encouraged her to write fiction and she took to it with a vivid imagination. Her books of The Keltiad (The Copper Crown, The Throne of Scone, Blackmantle, etc) made it to the New York Times bestseller list. These days, Ms. Morrison can be found writing murder cozies in the vein of authors like Agatha Christie, Ellis Peters, Margaret Atwood, and Ellery Queen. She has just released an anthology of stories harkening back to The Keltiad books, with at least two more new novels to come. She is currently writing more Rennie Stride books and a Viking novel to be released soon.
