Tracy A. Akers

I am a baby boomer raised on Disney classics, Tarzan, and Childcraft, but my primary interest has always been ancient worlds and mythologies. When I was a child, I longed to be an archeologist--what an amazing job that would be! But it never happened, not in the "real" sense at least. I am, however, doing the next best thing: I'm exploring  realms through my imagination, and  sharing  my  discoveries through the pages of my books.  

Since becoming an author, I have spoken at many schools and libraries, and have also been a guest author and panelist at a number of events. Here are some of the highlights:
