Toni McGee Causey lives in Baton Rouge with her husband and two sons; a Louisiana native (and Cajun), she has nearly completed a double masters at LSU. She's placed in top tier screenwriting contests, published many non-fiction articles and edited a popular regional magazine. To support her writing addiction, she and her husband Carl run their own civil construction company. Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day was the first in a three-book deal with St. Martin's press on a pre-empt; the chaotic, rollercoaster thriller world of BOBBIE FAYE owes much to Toni having way more experience than she'd like to own up to in the world of trouble-shooting, disaster-prevention and survival. The second in the series, Bobbie Faye's (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels, will be out this May! Toni is also a member of Killer Year, a group of 13 debut crime fiction authors who banded together out of support and ended up with national press and an anthology, KILLER YEAR: STORIES TO DIE FOR, edited by Lee Child. In 2006, she was a contributor to the non-fiction collection of essays, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS. Check out a recent interview with Toni in 222BatonRouge.com.
