Toni's Story

Life I live near Boston, MA, and have two daughters, one husband, a minivan, and a huge number of books. I'm a fulltime mystery writer, and have published fourteen novels, one collection, and a bunch of short stories. I've also co-edited seven anthologies with Charlaine Harris.. Between the kids and writing, I have no hobbies. School School seems like a lifetime ago. It should. It WAS a lifetime ago. I didn't love school, much of the time. I felt out of step a lot--nerdy, brainy, always reading that wierd science fiction stuff. But I had friends who were also nerdy and brainy, so it worked out. I think I missed out on opportunities by not being more outgoing, and more of a risk-taker, but can't do it over now. Thank goodness.

I started out as a Chemistry major, and added English for a double major. Then I hit Organic Chemistry. It hit back. So I dropped Chemistry, and graduated with a BA in English, Cum Laude. In extracurriculars, I worked on the student newspaper, which was then the CAROLINA JOURNAL; participated in the Gamers Assoc. and the German Drama Club; voluteered at the Writing Resource Lab; did a little work for the literary magazine; and worked an internship at the Public Information Office.
