About Raymond L. Atkins:
Raymond L. Atkins is an award winning Southern fiction author residing in Rome, Georgia. Born in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, he wrote his first short story in third grade. The ray-gun inspired science fiction piece landed Atkins a “D” because his assignment was to write about Christopher Columbus. His father was a career military man, but he spent the majority of his teen years in Valley Head, Alabama. Atkins jokes, “I guess you could say I’m a Southerner by preference.”
