Join us at 2:30 pm for our monthly meeting of the Writers' Alliance of Gainesville. This month's speaker is Andy Adkins.
On Sunday, March 3, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., author and active blogger Andy Adkins will give a talk at the Millhopper Branch entitled “Blogging 101.”
A glance at his blog, A Veteran’s Journey, reveals that he has been an active blogger since 2019. He writes personal stories about his time in the Navy, both in Guam and aboard USS Kitty Hawk; his father’s and his father-in-law’s experiences in WWII’s European Theater of Operations; his experiences as a Gainesville firefighter, and his time as an engineer.
“Every now and then,” Adkins says, “I sprinkle in some life-changing tidbit.” He has certainly had quite a life–now in his fifth or sixth career and not slowing down.
Besides being a U.S, Navy veteran, he is a former City of Gainesville firefighter, an electronics engineer, a retired legal technologist, and an author. He’s written and published several books about the military. His first novel, Never Forget: A Veteran’s Journey for Redemption & Forgiveness, debuted in 2021. He is currently in the process of completing a high-tech thriller, Until We Meet Again.
