About the author
Hello, I’m Charlie Akins.
Storytelling has always been in my heart, and it’s something I’ve cherished for as long as I can remember. I live in a peaceful, beautiful corner of Virginia, and I’m incredibly grateful to call this place home. Much of my life revolves around nature, whether I’m hiking through the woods, paddling across the lake, or simply soaking in the sights and sounds of the outdoors.
One of the things I hold closest to my heart is my rescue dog, who joins me on many of my outdoor adventures, especially kayaking. Animals, especially those who’ve been given a second chance, have a special place in my life. I believe they deserve all the love and respect we can give. This philosophy shapes not just how I live but how I write, too.
When I sit down to write, I do so with the hope that my words can spark something in my readers. My goal is simple: to remind you that even the smallest acts of kindness or courage can make a world of difference. If my stories can inspire you to take a moment, be kind, or stand tall in the face of fear, then I consider that a success.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me.
