Will MacKinley Will MacKinley is an American novelist and screenwriter. He was born in Columbus, Ohio on May 12, 1970. His father, a Vietnam War combat veteran, and his mother, the daughter of Irish immigrants, met by chance on a blind date in 1967 and married shortly thereafter; they are still married today. MacKinley was their oldest son and the second oldest of nine children. MacKinley attended Catholic schools for twelve years, and despite some disciplinary problems and minor brushes with the law in his teenage years, graduated in the top third of his class in 1988. He enrolled at The Ohio State University as a Journalism major, but his restless nature did not conform to the collegiate schedule, and he left before obtaining a degree. MacKinley performed a series of odd jobs after leaving school, including a brief and unsuccessful stint as a treasure hunter, before settling down in 1992, when he began a career as a police officer. MacKinley held many varied assignments in his fifteen years in law enforcement, including undercover and detective positions, and was eventually promoted to the rank of Sergeant. His career was cut short, however, when injuries sustained in a line of duty accident forced him into early retirement. Upon leaving the police department, MacKinley took his passion for writing and completed his first novel, Christmas Goose, which was published in September of 2007. The novel featured the fictional police officer Sean "Goose" Wallace and promised to be the first in a series of books featuring the character. MacKinley also completed his first screenplay in 2007, a horror-comedy titled Zombelievable. MacKinley currently lives in Texas and continues to write on a daily basis.
