Kathy Akins began writing as a teenager, but serious pursuit of the craft started when she retired from a 30-year career with the United States Postal Service. She has won several awards for her poetry, articles, and short fiction. Her short stories, memoirs, poetry, and devotionals were published in Journeys, Blackbirds Third Flight, Prosateurs: Tales & Truth, and Yule Tidings. A love for history, family, and animals touches her everyday life and inspires her story ideas and characters. She lives in Oklahoma and shares her home with miniature longhair dachshunds.
She is a member of Prosateurs, Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and American Christian Fiction Writers.
