Toni Anderson® writes gritty, sexy, FBI Romantic Thrillers, and is a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author.Originally from a small town in Shropshire, England, Toni studied Marine Biology at university in Liverpool and St. Andrews (yes, you can call her “Dr. Anderson”) with the intention she’d never be far from the ocean. That plan backfired and she ended up in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Toni’s greatest achievements are mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving twenty-plus Winnipeg winters (so far). Toni loves to travel for research purposes and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and she also got to shove another car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy in Wisconsin.
Toni’s books have hit #1 in both Barnes & Noble’s Nook store and in the Apple Books US store. They’ve also hit the Top 5 on Amazon and Kobo stores. Her books have been translated into six different languages and more than three million copies of her books have been downloaded so far.
