ⓘ About Tori Eldridge
When she was a kid in Hawaii, she would watch kung fu films at her calabash auntie’s theater in Chinatown. Once she quit professional dance and enrolled her son in karate, she regained her interest. During her first class, her teacher noted the aptitude and accelerated her training. This moment birthed her obsession with martial arts. When she was a kid, she was usually too serious for her own good, so her favorite authors included Leon Uris, James Clavell, Pearl S. Buck, later on Ann Rice, Stephen King, and Michael Crichton. After becoming serious about writing, she started paying attention to authors like F. Paul Wilson, Ken Follett, David Morrell, Barbara Kingsolver, Lisa See, and Lisa Gardner.
