Both Leigh and Toni write short stories, and The Skeleton Rides a Horse and Other Stories is their first team-up.
No matter which name she’s using, she lives north of Boston with fellow writer Stephen P. Kelner, Jr. and their daughters: a graphic artist and a flute finisher. The family has many books.
