n a beautiful Saturday in late November at the chic outdoor setting of Grand 
Boulevard in Sandestin, author Keri Atchley and her entire family, including 
Beastie, the star of her new book, “Meet the Beastie” was on hand for the book 
signing of this long awaited children’s book.  This book, illustrated by Anna 

Cywincska, is a sweet, adorable story of a little dog trying to discover her perfect name as she 
travels to a far-away land.  In this beautiful, hard-bound children’s book, the outcomes of her 
adventures result in a mighty presence, a surprisingly bold request, and a victorious ending.  
The little adventurer becomes the “Beastie” and that so pleased the Queen.

 Keri Atchley, a lover of dogs both great and small, a devoted wife, an amazing mom to two 

growing girls, and a graphic designer is in the category of one who does it all. Keri Atchley is 
also the founder of Design360, a full-service graphic design studio and a boutique publishing 
company. Keri’s imaginative touches take a front seat with the publication of numerous 
Design360 coffee-table books, including The Dogs of 30A, 30A Style, 30A Living, 30A 
Memories, Coastal Dunes Lakes, and the Great Florida Cattle Drive.
