Sandra Atkins lives in the small, Southern town of Campobello, South Carolina. She was born and 'raised' amidst an unusual mixture of strict, Baptist religion and regional superstition. A mild-mannered postal worker by day, she travels to countless lands in her free time, some real, but mostly located between the covers of a book. She loves wearing hats and often proclaims, 'I wear my oddities like a hat'. She and her pets enjoy listening to classical music, spending time with family and friends, and watching fictional crime series on TV.
