Tonia Kleen is a first-grade ELA teacher. She has a bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University. She lives in Las Vegas, NV, but is originally from Texas. Tonia blames her love of fantasy and horror on her parents. Her mother allowed her and her older sister to see Lost Boys when they were too young, and her father let them play the original King's Quest games. Now she writes fantasy and horror novels for children and adults and has several novels in various stages of completion. She loves playing video games, reading, and watching CFL Football when she's not writing.
