Toni’s love affair with horses started at the age of eight, every day filled with fantasies of owning her very own horse. That dream finally came true at the age of twelve. Her life has been graced by many of these beautiful creatures, so it only seemed natural that her careers would revolve around them, as well. As a graphic artist, advertising consultant to the equine industry, and publisher/producer of magazines, books, and videos about horses, Toni's professional background is firmly based in the equine industry.

Toni has been writing non-fiction since 1989, and now produces horse-related articles and videos for her own company, Equine Graphics Publishing Group. She also copy-edits manuscripts, designs book covers and layouts, and provides other services for self-published authors. She writes for several national magazines, and is a regular contributor to international gardening website, Dave's Garden (http://www.davesgarden.com).

Her fiction career began in 1997 with two children's books: Christa Meets a Mini and Christa Joins a Horse Club . To date, she has published three novels: Winning Ways (romantic suspense), Hearts Over Fences (contemporary equestrian romance), and Gambling With the Enemy (mainstream thriller). She has also sold several short stories and poetry.

Toni lives with her husband in southeastern Ohio.
