🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Toni Blake
Toni’s love of writing started when she won this essay contest back in the fifth grade. By the time that she graduated from high school in 1983, she’d already written her first novella along with numerous short stories and she edited her high school paper for three years. But it was not until much later that she began to seriously pursue her dreams of becoming a writer. In 1996 she was the recipient of the Kentucky Women Writers Fellowship and a nominee for the prestigious Pushcart Prize, and she quickly had more than 30 articles and short stories published in various literary, youth, and writing publications. During the summer of 1995, she began writing romance novels at the urging of a good friend, and by 1998, she had made her first sale.
