Leigh Perry is delighted to be returning to North Carolina, where she grew up. Where was ConCarolinas when she needed it? At least she had long-gone SF club StarCore as comfort. Leigh writes the Family Skeleton mysteries, featuring an adjunct English professor and an ambulatory skeleton. Together they fight crime. Before she was Leigh, she was Toni L.P. Kelner, and as Toni is the author of the geeky “Where Are They Now?” mysteries and the NC-based Laura Fleming series, and an Agatha Award winner for short fiction. Toni also co-edited seven urban fantasy anthologies with Charlaine Harris. No matter what you call her, she lives north of Boston with her husband, two daughters, two guinea pigs, and a bunch of books.
