John’s wife transferred to Hawaii in the middle of the pandemic. This would be a life-changing event for not only him but his two school-age children. He gave up his job as a wound care nurse and moved the family from Virginia to Hawaii. Because of the pandemic, he became a stay-at-home dad and teacher, while working on his own education. In the middle of this, he was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime to take part in a writer’s workshop for Georgetown. He had to make a choice to add one more stress in or take a pass.

John M. McKeel is a registered nurse in Oahu, Hawaii. Holding additional science degrees in psychology and engineering, John served in the U.S. Army as a Signals Intelligence Analyst. McKeel’s Giresun Island has reframed the traditionally male “soldier returning from war” allegory into the story of one woman’s journey. John lives as he avidly writes—with respect and admiration for the strong women that influence his life.

When he’s not spending time in alternate realities, John is an avid SCUBA diver and cook who loves spending time with his family.
