About Tori

I am a long time avid reader of any and all genres. Except westerns...westerns scare me. I adore bacon, dirty jokes, my family, and my pet pig Josie. I own an online store, review books, and occasionally freelance. Some of my favorite authors are Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jennifer Estep, and Anne Bishop.
