Marina Müller
McKenna was born in 1958 in Merseburg, East Germany. Already at the
age of eight she began writing poetry. Later, some of her poems earned awards
and were published in anthologies and radio broadcasts.
Years followed,
in which the author mainly wrote and published journalistically. In addition, she
co-wrote for the documentaries "Bullying and Abuse in the Church" (in
German) and "Remembering the Future - A Meath Coast Miscellany" (in
English).
After the fall
of the Berlin Wall, the author – who professionally worked in the field of
tourism – became for ten years a Member of Parliament in her home district of
Berlin Köpenick.
Due to personal
circumstances, she migrated to Ireland. After eleven years living there, she
moved with her husband and her dog to Greece.
There she finally
published her poems, and began to write down life memories. In addition, the
author has finally turned to fiction. In 2017 she submitted her first novel. From
2019 this book, titled "Many Bridges - One River", will also be privately
available in English language.
