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.

If you're interested in reading any of her books for an honest review, just fill out the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... ...more

P.D. and 3 other people liked Angie Thompson's review of Smoke Screen (Castling, #1): "Yes, I've already read this book, but since I've apparently never reviewed it, the release of End Game seemed a perfect time to binge the entire series at once. :D First, a confession. If it had been up to me, this book would never have been written. " Read more of this review »

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.”
