RL Akers

R.L. Akers loves stories. He loves hearing them, telling them, embellishing them, and forging them from raw materials. He remains convinced that every person who ever lived has an interesting story, including that one guy who tried and failed to prove otherwise.

Holder of an undergraduate degree in computer science and a master’s degree in business administration, Akers has worked in software development as well as non-profit fundraising and publicity. He loves children and has served them in various capacities over the years, both at his church and within the foster care system. His interests include graphic design, orchestral movie soundtracks, home improvement, and other creative pursuits.

Originally from Florida, Akers now lives in West Virginia with his wife Sarah and the four children he loves most in this world, who inspired the four main characters of his Overtwixt books. Visit Akers online at his official website, or delve into the worlds of R.L. Akers on his wiki.
