Keenan Powell

Keenan Powell is a crime, thriller, and historical fiction that has won several awards for her work. She was born in Roswell in New Mexico to an Air Force pilot and hence spent much of her childhood moving across the United States. Her family finally made northern California their permanent home and it was while she lived there that she went to San Francisco State University and obtained her Broadcast Communication Arts Bachelor of Science degree. Powell then went to the McGeorge School of Law for her law degree. While in law school, she happened to visit a friend that lived in Anchorage, Alaska and she so loved it that when she graduated, she decided that she wanted to live there. While she has made a name for herself as an author, she started with drawing and painting and this got her a job as an illustrator for “Dungeons and Dragons” while she was still a high schooler. Over the years she has won many awards for her work as she has written several short stories. She is currently writing Ipso Facto a legal column and also blogs with the “Mysteritas.” Powell is still a lawyer in Anchorage and when she is now lawyering or writing her novels, she is playing with paints, studying the concert harp, playing with her Irish Wolfhound, and riding her bike.
