A mom writing books with lots of history, love, and murder. It's all about the coffee and the rescue pets. She/her.
Tonda was extraordinarily great to me when I started publishing, always helping me with research. Her badass spirit always inspired me to be bolder. Once, she called me an Avenue Q muppet, and it's still the best description of me I've ever heard. She made so much of my life better.
