Author Tori Carrington is the penname of husband and wife writing team Lori and Tony Karayianni.

Hands down, penning a bio is always the most difficult writing challenge we take on. What do we say? What do we keep a secret? Considering weve been writing together for over twenty-two years...well, that reveals more about us than anything youll likely read here. Were fiction writers simply because we enjoy escaping into an exciting, colorful, fictional world of our own making. Take great, shameless pleasure in delving into the lives of others. Revel in living vicariously through our characters, trying on career hats wed never otherwise put on, stretching muscles wed probably be better off excercising in reality. We wont even discuss how our writing allows us to voice opinions on society, romance and human sexuality that arent subject to public ridicule but rather presented as entertainment. To go there, well, wed be revealing a little too much, now, wouldnt we?

So well stick to just the facts, maam -- or sir, depending on your preference, which may or may not have anything to do with your sex. Should you desire more information, feel free to e-mail us and well provide you with our phone number, or -- our preference -- arrange to meet with you one-on-one where we can learn as much, or perhaps more, about you as you will about us. Depending on our mood, we may spill everything wed prefer to keep a secret, like which traits we would change about the other if given half a chance. Likewise, we may wisecrack our way through the interview, sprinkle our responses with what we find exciting about our latest book, and blissfully skate over personal details that might bare a little too much.

Trust us, this is not an attempt to create an aura of mystery. Were not quite that saavy. No, were just very protective of our evolving selves and consider ourselves open-minded, known to change an opinion the moment we voice it or are presented with further info
