Hands down, penning a bio is always the most difficult writing challenge we take on, What do we say What do we keep a secret Considering weve been writing together for over twenty two yearswell, that reveals about us than anything youll likely read here.
Were fiction writers simply because we enjoy escaping into an exciting, colorful, fictional world of our own making, Take great, shameless pleasure in delving into the lives of others, Revel in living vicariously through our characters, trying on career hats wed never otherwise put on, stretching muscles wed probably be better off excercising in reality, We wont even discuss how o Author Tori Carrington is the penname of husband and wife writing team Lori and Tony Karayianni, Hands down, penning a bio is always the most difficult writing challenge we take on, What do we say What do we keep a secret Considering we've been writing together for over twenty two yearswell, that reveals about us than anything you'll likely read here.
We're fiction writers simply because we enjoy escaping into an exciting, colorful, fictional world of our own making, Take great, shameless pleasure in delving into the lives of others, Revel in living vicariously through our characters, trying on career hats we'd never otherwise put on, stretching muscles we'd probably be better off excercising in reality, We won't even discuss how our writing allows us to voice opinions on society, romance and human sexuality that aren't subject to public ridicule but rather presented as entertainment.
To go there, well, we'd be revealing a little too much, now, wouldn't weSo we'll stick to just the facts, ma'am or sir, depending on your preference, which may or may not have anything to do with your sex.
Should you desire information, feel free to e mail us and we'll provide you with our phone number, or our preference arrange to meet with you one on one where we can learn as much, or perhaps , about you as you will about us.
Depending on our mood, we may spill everything we'd prefer to keep a secret,
like which traits we would change about the other if given half a chance.
Likewise, we may wisecrack our way through the interview, sprinkle our responses with what we find exciting about our latest book, and blissfully skate over personal details that might bare a little too much.
Trust us, this is not an attempt to create an aura of mystery, We're not quite that saavy, No, we're just very protective of our evolving selves and consider ourselves open minded, known to change an opinion the moment we voice it or are presented with further information, so we're hesitant to commit any to writing.
Guess we're very Socrates like as opposed to Socratic in that way, which isn't altogether a bad thing, . So rather than dictate to you here, we'll lay out the basic facts, then provide a number of links to others who have interviewed us, I'm Lori Schlachter Karayianni a Holy Toledo, Ohio, native, having attended Central Catholic but ultimately graduating from Macomber Whitney with certification in computer science, After working in the computer industry for a number of years and after Tony and I endeavored to write our first novel I switched to temp work which ultimately led to a four year stint as a secretary/sales clerk in the engineering and international sales departments of Owens Illinois, the international container company that put the "glass" into The Glass City.
I put the brakes on before I reached the five year mark, however, the point of no return for most dreamers who get caught in the corporate trap vacation time Better benefits Probably I should stay until retirement.
Tony's background couldn't be different from mine, but thankfully it led him to me, Born in Smila, a small hillside village in the area of Ancient Olympia outside Pyrgos, Greece, where his family has deep roots and an older brother still maintains the family olive groves he was raised in Athens during a time of political and cultural upheaval, although neither stopped him from becoming a drummer in a successful pop band that often played with Greek singer Teris Chrysos.
He immigrated to the U, S. in lateand with the help of the Greek community achieved the American Dream, Only the hunger for something , the restless searching that originally compelled him to turn his back on his successful music career and brought him here, remained, It wasn't until after we'd become a couple, and he turned to me and suggested that we try our hand at writing, that both of us discovered the true meaning of th sitelink.
When sexy FBI agent Lucas agreed to infiltrate the Mafia, he never dreamed hed come face to face with his first love, Or that hed still crave Gias body, madly, wildly and recklessly even though shes the boss of the crime family hes vowed to bring down
