Toni L.P. Kelner and Leigh Perry are two authors in one.
As Toni L.P.

She's also the co-editor of seven urban fantasy anthologies with Charlaine Harris.

As Leigh Perry, she writes the Family Skeleton series about Georgia Thackery, an adjunct English professor, and her family's unusual family skeleton. Which is a skeleton. Named Sid. Sid walks, talks, and tells bad bone jokes. Together, Georgia and Sid solve crimes.
Both Leigh and Toni write short stories, and The Skeleton Rides a Horse and Other Stories is their first team-up.
No matter which name she's using, she lives north of Boston with fellow writer Stephen P. Kelner, Jr. and their daughters: a graphic artist and a flute finisher. The family has many books.
