“Family” by Tanya Atkinson

Submitted to Contest #79

Author bio

I'm Tanya Atkinson, I help middle grade aged children who love mystery stories read a book series about dogs and birds. My passion for writing began in my teens when a dream pushed me to pick up a pencil and jot down my crazy thoughts. A simple note, a zany thought, perhaps an unstoppable script of a story, I write them down as they appear, and it continues today. My dream is to continue finding my voice, enhancing my skills, and surrounding myself with other motivated writers. In this quest, it is my pleasure and passion to share my stories. Thus My Vision:  To create my stories and keep children engaged in the adventures of Charlie and His Quail Buddies. I love managing multiple stories in the writing process. Bringing Charlie and His Quail Buddies to life is a wonderful dream come true. I enjoy playing in Charlie’s world and taking my readers along the journey.  The newest Charlie book will be out soon.
