edit data

P.D. Atkerson is a homeschooled writer, living in Montana, who may or may not be a secret agent. She spends almost as much time in the worlds she creates as she does the real one.
When she’s not reporting the stories of her agents, she’s learning different languages, or traveling to different worlds through the portals of books.
She has a black belt in sarcasm and a master’s degree in useless facts.

New Release! Odd One Out

Odd One Out

Samantha’s life has always been mind numbingly boring, with a half-brother that can’t hold down a job to save his life, a mom who’s declared war on a fellow homeschooling mom that’s snubbed her, and a dad who just wants to be left out of the drama.

When her thirteenth-birthday-wish is for something exciting to happen, she never expected it to come true.

What starts out as an average day hanging out

Quotes by P.D. Atkerson (?)

“Until you showed up, I thought we were going to have some fun. Maybe play some games, throw a party, break into a top security building and take selfies? You pick, though I’m leaning toward the latter. I’d love to see the inside of the Pentagon.”
― P.D. Atkerson, Phantom Thief

tags: humor, pentagon, selfies

“A feeling of unease settled over Derek as he glanced between the two young agents. “If the White House doesn’t control you, who exactly do you take orders from?”

“God,” was Peter’s quick response, then there was a pause and he grimaced. “And my dad.”
― P.D. Atkerson, Web of Lies

“So that’s what the problem was! The coffee maker was smarter than the agent operating it.”
