Toni enjoys traveling, reading, and going to the movies (and has loved popcorn for as long as she can remember). During her travels she has visited movie theaters in several different countries around the world and has found magic in all of them. While she sometimes prefers to escape reality between the pages of a book or in a dark movie theater experiencing fantastic adventures with fictional characters she relishes time spent at home with her husband. As an avid animal lover, Toni spends time with her horses; Fiona, Rohan, and Guinness; chickens; Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, dog Berkley and cat Duchess (don't mention to Duchess she was listed last). Toni is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
