Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in suburban Maryland, Sally MacKenzie ventured west in 1972 to help co-educate the University of Notre Dame. Graduating with a B.A. in English, she spent a short time at Cornell Law School before returning to the D.C. area where she lives with her husband and, depending on the time of year, some combination of her four sons. She’s written federal regulations, school newsletters, auction programs, class plays, swim league guidance, and the annual MacKenzie family newsletter, but The Naked Duke is her first published novel.
