Craft, The Business of Writing
I've done single-speaker events, but prefer moderating or participating in panels of two writers or more.
Leigh Perry / Toni L.P. Kelner is two authors in one. As Leigh Perry, she writes the Family Skeleton series about an adjunct English professor and her family’s family skeleton. Who is an actual skeleton. Named Sid. He walks, talks, and tells bad bone jokes. Together, they solve crimes. Leigh has also published short stories, some of which include bone jokes. As Toni L.P. Kelner, she’s written eight Laura Fleming mysteries and three “Where are they now?” mysteries and co-edited seven urban fantasy anthologies with Charlaine Harris. Between all those books, she’s published numerous short stories, and a handful of limericks. Kelner has won the Agatha Award and an RT BookClub Lifetime Achievement Award, and has been nominated multiple times for the Anthony, the Macavity, and the Derringer. Both Leigh and Toni live north of Boston with fellow writer Stephen P. Kelner, Jr. and their two daughters: a graphic artist and a flute finisher. They have many books.
