Toni writes young adult fantasy novels packed with dizzying action, imaginative magic, and a lot of heart. She makes her home in a small village along the shores of Lake Michigan with her handsome husband and grumpy miniature schnauzer. 

When Toni told her fifth-grade teacher that she wanted to be a writer, neither of them expected Toni’s journey to include stints as a nurse’s aid, personal banker, instructional designer, real estate broker, systems analyst, and youth director. Toni is thrilled to be an indie author and does at least half her writing in the middle of the night, which may explain her wild plot twists and unforgettable characters.
