David Lloyd AtkinsonDavid Lloyd Atkinson was born on Seattle's Capitol Hill in late 1953, and lived his entire life in the greater Puget Sound region until 2016, when he and his wife Amy moved to Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula. While the book is fictional, his ersonal story is told by several of the characters. He lost his left leg and part of his lung to sarcoma cancer in 2018-2019. His earlier unpublished book The Yonder Years--Two People, Two Motorhomes, and Two Years of Travel, Discovery, and Adventure (Volumes 1 through 3) tells the story through text and photos about David, Amy, and their cat Buzzie's adventure throughout the United States between 2014 and 2016 (PDF files of each volume are available at no charge upon request).

Today, David, Amy, and their two cats Lucy and Rita live between the coastal cities of Sequim and Port Angeles. Read More Read Less
