It's possible there's a typo in the name, or the author you're thinking of may have a different pen name. To help me find the correct author, could you provide:
* More information about the author: Do you know anything about their genre, era they wrote in, or any specific books they might have written?
* Any other possible spellings of the name: Perhaps it's "Fredrick McKinney," "Frederick McKinley," or something similar.
Once I have more information, I can try to help you find the author you're looking for!
