Book Giveaway Winner Announced Here

Hannah Mary McKinnon was born in the UK, grew up in Switzerland and moved to Canada in 2010. After a successful career in recruitment, she quit the corporate world in favor of writing. While her debut, Time After Time, was a rom-com, she transitioned to the dark side thereafter. Her suspense novels include The Neighbors, instant bestsellers Her Secret Son and Sister Dear, and her forthcoming You Will Remember Me. Hannah Mary lives in Oakville, Ontario, with her husband and three sons.


You Will Remember Me

He wakes up on a deserted beach in Maryland with a gash on his head and wearing only swim trunks. He can’t remember who he is. Everything–his identity, his life, his loved ones–has been replaced by a dizzying fog of uncertainty. But returning to his Maine hometown in search of the truth uncovers more questions than answers.

Lily Reid thinks she knows her boyfriend, Jack. Until he goes missing one night, and her frantic search reveals that he’s been lying to her since they met, desperate to escape a dark past he’d purposely left behind.

Maya Scott has been trying to find her estranged stepbrother, Asher, since he disappeared without a trace. Having him back, missing memory and all, feels like a miracle. But with a mutual history full of devastating secrets, how far will Maya go to ensure she alone takes them to the grave?

My review

Magnificently malevolent and darkly diabolical, what begins as a case of amnesia quickly turns into a riveting, sinister ride. Every twist, every layer skilfully unravels to an explosive conclusion that will have you gasping out loud. You Will Remember Me is an absolute knockout!


Author’s Corner – Interview with Hannah Mary McKinnon

Thanks so much for being on Author’s Corner! Can you tell us one funny, quirky thing about you, something most people might not know? An interesting hobby or funny habit, something so readers can get to know the person behind the author.

I have parasomnia, which means I do very strange things in my sleep, such as shouting and kicking and fighting off aliens, removing inexistent plates of salad from our bed or playing golf (which I’ve never done in my life, not even when awake). I have absolutely no recollection about any of it in the morning. My husband swears I sat up one night giggling and wide-eyed, before solemnly announcing my feet were made of liquorice (and I dislike liquorice…).

What was the very first thing—ever—that you remember writing?

A ghost story when I was about eight. It ended with, “She looked up into the sky and saw a face.” That’s all I remember. Maybe I have it in a box of old school stuff somewhere. That would be fun.

What are some of the jobs you had before becoming a writer, and how did they help you with what you do now?

I worked as personal assistant, became the purchasing manager for a high-tech company that made motors for space applications, then took a role as Back Office Manager for an IT recruitment company. I moved up the corporate ladder to Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer. My general business experience, adaptability, and curiosity have all been extremely helpful, as have my organizational and networking skills. I was trained to always meet or beat deadlines, which definitely comes in handy as an author.

What are some of the book(s) that you’ve read and loved recently?

Bath Haus by PJ Vernon, What’s Done in Darkness by Laura McHugh, The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding, Do No Harm by Christina McDonald (of course!)

If you could be a character in a book for a day, who would you be?

Wonder Woman!

Just for fun, choose one answer for each:

  1. Laundry or Dishes? Laundry
  2. Movies or TV? Movies
  3. iOS or Android? iOS
  4. Coffee or Tea? Tea
  5. Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates
  6. Beach, City or Forest? Forest

If you could invite five people (dead or alive) to a dinner party, who would they be and why?

Last year I’d have named famous actors and authors. Now? My immediate family because I haven’t seen them in almost two years.

I know you’re an avid plotter, but how do you go about coming up with your initial story ideas?

So far, I can pinpoint exactly how each book started. Time After Time is a story about a woman who’s unhappy with her life, which was me when we moved to Canada and my HR company crashed and burned, although the rest of the novel is fictional. The idea for The Neighbors came to me when two houses on our courtyard went up for sale, and I wondered who might move in. Her Secret Son stemmed from a news segment I saw while I was at the gym (probably wishing I were eating cake instead). Sister Dear was a radio segment about a woman who’d found a wedding ring at a playground and was trying to locate the owner through social media. I’ll tell you more about You Will Remember Me below.

I know you’ve partnered with Hank Phillippi Ryan to do First Chapter Fun. Can you tell us a little about it and where readers can find you?

With pleasure! Back in March 2020, when Covid first hit Canada, a group of us were discussing how we could help promote one another and give our books a boost. At 7.15 p.m. I half-jokingly offered to read the first chapter of their novels on Facebook and Instagram and started the very next day at 11.30 a.m. It was very much a “Don’t think, just do” situation. Within a few days I had over 40 daily readings lined up and First Chapter Fun grew from there. I read for 53 days in a row (didn’t think the “must do hair and make-up” thing through very well), introducing viewers to a new novel and author each day.

In May 2020, I teamed up with my partner-in-fictional-crime, powerhouse author Hank Phillippi Ryan.

We read every Tuesday and Thursday (the days with a “T) on Facebook and Instagram simultaneously at 12.30 pm ET, and already have readings scheduled until the end of 2021. All the previously aired episodes are saved and can be viewed at leisure. It’s a wonderful community where we share the love of books and introduce new and/or new-to-you authors twice a week. Our goal is to keep your “to be read” pile completely out-of-control and, or so we’ve been told, we’re succeeding.

Writing You Will Remember Me

Let’s talk about your book You Will Remember Me. Can you tell my readers a little about it?

It’s another psychological suspense story, a twisty amnesia thriller where the fates of three people intertwine: a man who wakes up on a beach but doesn’t know who or where he is. Lily, who’s searching for her boyfriend, Jack, who went missing after going for a swim, and Maya, who’s also looking for someone–her stepbrother, Ash, who abandoned her and his entire life two years prior. But is the man from the beach Jack, Ash, neither…or both?

Where did you come up with the idea?

A few years ago, a man from Toronto vanished from a ski hill in Lake Placid while there on vacation and showed up six days later in Sacramento. He had amnesia and couldn’t remember much, including the cross-country trip he’d made as he’d hitchhiked across the US. Everything worked out for the man in the end and he found his way home, but it made me wonder—what could have gone wrong? That was the genesis for You Will Remember Me.

 Describe You Will Remember Me in three words.

Dark, twisted, surprising.

Let’s talk about the characters in You Will Remember Me. I love how your initially likeable characters morph into something far more devious. How did you go about creating the characters of Lily, Jack and Maya?

They were all interesting to write for many different reasons, predominantly because they’re flawed. Maya was probably the most complex, certainly one of the darkest point-of-view characters I’ve ever written. Although Lily is a sunshine girl, she has her secrets, too, which were fun to explore. As for “the man from the beach,” unearthing him was a longer process, and I kept reminding myself that because I knew his history, it didn’t mean he could because of the amnesia. In that sense he’s the most complicated character I’ve ever written, and presented a real challenge.

That ending! Wow, I did not see that coming at all! Without giving it away, did you know the ending for You Will Remember Me before you started writing?

I’m so glad you didn’t see it coming. As you mentioned, I’m a heavy plotter but for this book I had three possible endings in mind. When I pitched the book to my editor, I asked, “How dark can I go?” She replied, “As dark as you want.” And I so did.

What do you think readers will love about You Will Remember Me?

Hopefully they’ll enjoy the complexity of the characters and the dark undercurrent that starts almost immediately, that sensation that something’s wrong but you can’t quite put your finger on it. I’d be very pleased if they liked my characters, too.

Ultimately though, I hope I manage to surprise my readers, and they keep thinking about the book long after they’ve finished the final page. My main goal is to entertain, to provide people a form of escape and to leave people satisfied thinking, “I enjoyed that. It was time well spent!”

What’s Next For You?

Are you working on a new book? Can you tell my readers a little about it, a blurb, potential release date, etc?

My sixth book is done and back in my wonderful editor’s hands. It’s written from the anti-hero’s point-of-view, which I’ve never done before, and is the story of Lucas, who hired a hitman to kill his wife. A month later, Lucas receives a partial photograph of his wife in the mail. Who sent it? What do they know? And, more importantly, what do they want? I can’t wait to introduce you to my characters! It’s slated to publish in spring 2022.

In the meantime, I’m plotting and outlining Book 7, but it’s too early to give anything away.

    Fantastic interview! I’ve never heard of parasomnia, but after reading about Hannah’s and Googling it, I think I may have it too…probably since childhood. There are wild stories about my antics while sleeping. lol
    The book sounds amazing. I like dark and twisted.

      I’d never heard of it either! So interesting, though!

      Maybe one day one of my characters will have parasomnia!

    Can’t wait to read the book – it sounds great!

    Omg. I can’t wait to read this. I just read Sister Dear and I couldn’t put it down! One of my all time favorite books is Time After Time. I read it on vacation in 2019. It was such a fun read. P.s. my husband has the same sleeping thing. I never knew it was actually something and it has a name!! Fascinating!

      Thank you, Jennifer! 🙂

    I can’t wait to read this…sounds right up my alley!

    This book sounds SO intriguing. I LOVE books that you do not see the end coming at all. To be honest, I am more intrigued by your parasomnia. I have to research that. I talk a lot in my sleep and I have yelled at people. Sleep intrigues me because it is one thing that causes me a lot of frustration.

    I would love to read this book! I love twists and turns in plots and also any intertwining that happens in a plot.

    Sounds like a good one!

    Read this book and LOVED it…my first by Ms. McKinnon.

    Sounds like a great book!!

    I read the book as an ebook ARC and nearly fell over when I read the ending. OMG! Hannah wrote my favorite thriller of the year so far! Thanks, Christina, for this interview. So happy to find out Hannah is a tea drinker.

      Wow, that’s such high praise. Thank you!!!

    Do people truly disappear? Where do they go? How does someone suddenly reappear and not remember anything? Where were they? Who were they with? Is this real.. Or an act?

      Such fabulous questions, Valerie!

    I keep seeing this book everywhere. I so excited for it.

      Oooh, Alisha, that makes me so happy. Thank you!

    This book sounds amazing 😉

    Hannah is a new author for me. You Will Remember Me sounds like a page-turner.

    This sounds so good and I’m looking forward to reading this book!

    The book sounds very interesting. I would love to read it. I have a friend named Asher so that’s always interesting when you know a person with a certain name and then they’re a character in a book. You find yourself comparing them.

      Oh, how fun (or will it be…hmmmm….. my lips are sealed!)

    Very intriguing on mystery novels would love this

      Thank you very much, Emily!

    Thanks for the giveaway chance. Stay safe and healthy. 💕📚😷📚💕

    Can’t wait to read this.

    This book sounds very promising with dark, twisty storyline. I would love to read and review. Thank you for the chance!

    Wow! Now I’m really interested in reading this book! Can’t wait!

    Would so love to win read and review!

    The interview sounds like it was a fun interview to do. It has to be somewhat fun for her husband with her having parasomnia, I can imagine it brings some laughs at times.
    I’m curious as to why she’d want To be Wonder Woman.

    With that said the book sounds amazing, and I’m excited to read it!
    🤞🏻 I win a copy!

      It can be very funny for Rob with my parasomnia, especially the liquorice feet incident 🙂
      Why Wonder Woman? Because I always thought she was kick-butt strong (and I’d love to have legs like Gal Gadot for a day!!)

    The interview sounded fun, and I’m excited to know that you actually have another book almost ready to go.
    🤞🏻 Fingers crossed I will the current one as it sounds just what I love reading

      I do indeed. Fun fact: it’s already done and in copy-edits! Hurrah!

    I will be adding this to my read next list, it sounds right up my street, I love a good psychological thriller! I like reading interviews on the authors.

    Great Interview and the book sounds fantastic to read and review! Thank You!

    I loved “Sister Dear!” I’m thinking I will love this book too! Also, I use to have night episodes similar to Hannahs. It was usually when I was stressed. I would sit up in bed and scream at the top of my lungs. Yikes! My poor hubby would wake me up almost having a heart attack himself. I haven’t done it for a couple years. I think my stress level has come way down. Thank goodness!

      It’s so freaky, isn’t it, Nancy!?

    Sounds like a great book!

    I hope you’re able to enjoy dinner with your family soon, Hannah.

      Oh, I hope so too, Alysa. Thank you!

    Cant wait to read this!

    I do first chapter Fridays with my students. It’s a huge hit and I end up with a wait list for the book!

      Amazing! Contact me if you’d like to have me attend a session: hannah (at) hannahmarymckinnon (dot) com

    Can’t wait to read this! Sounds like a great book!

    Thanks for the chance to win

    I always enjoy finding out the inspiration behind a book! Looking forward to reading this

If you’d like to hear the first and part of the second chapter, my partner-in-fictional-crime Hank Phillippi Ryan read it on First Chapter Fun here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CPGj5Sdo9zG/

    Very interesting interview. Can’t wait to read the book.

    Two of my favorites!! Both writing my favorite genre!! Can’t wait to read it!! Christina, your books are the best as well!! I have enjoyed all of them!!

      Thank you so much, Lisa! 🙂

    This book sounds so exciting, but heck, her life sounds fantastic as well! i would love to read this.

    What a great interview! Thanks for great questions, Christina. I’m looking forward to more of “You Will Remember Me” after Hank’s great reading on First Chapter Fun. I like your memories of what gave you the starts of your books, Hannah — but do you ever take something that happens to you and give it to a character? For instance, recognizing my own horrified reactions to meeting someone was the origin of how my heroine in my first (unsold) book feels meeting the villain, and that gave me a way to start describing the villain (Name Withheld) and NW’s actions.

    I’m so excited about this book!

    Cannot wait to read!

    I have Wonder Woman socks so that’s who I long to be as well! Great interview and the book sounds fantastic!

    I’m excited to check out your work out! Love to read & love to find new Amazing Authors even more! *PS: My boyfriend also does that weird stuff in his sleep; fight, talk ,open his eyes, talk to me, laugh etc! Nice to know he’s not the only one!!! Didn’t know it was a medical sleep disorder w/a name & everything!! Thank u!

    What a wonderful interview. I enjoyed that. Would love to read the book.

    Sounds like a great book! Can’t wait to read it!!

    So excited to read this book! Love Mary McKinnon books! Great interview

    Having read brief reviews of this novel, the interview makes it even more enticing. I will definitely have to purchase a copy on my next trip to the bookstore. Thank you for the fantastic interview. Loved the feet of licorice too.
