Victoria Leigh writes YA novels under the pen names of Vicki Leigh and Tori Rigby but goes by "Tori" in real life. She is also the founder of Black Dog Editing, and her YA Contemporary, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, is a #1 Amazon Bestseller.

Tori grew up in a small suburb of Akron, Ohio, and considered being sent to her room as an opportunity to dive into another book. By the sixth grade, Tori had penned her first, full-length screenplay.

If Tori couldn't be a writer, she would be a Jedi. Her favorite place on earth is Hogwarts, and her favorite dreams include solving cases alongside Sherlock Holmes. She now resides outside Charlotte with her husband and their dog named after the famous detective.
