Fascinated with ancient Egypt and all the possibilities it holds, Isis and Raimis chronicles have become very special for Toni. Originally meant to be peripheral characters in a bigger tale, Issi and Raimi kept demanding to be heard. Eventually, Toni, a third year literature student at Monash Uni and mother of 2, finally gave in and wrote their love-story. If you like them and want to hear more, please let us know. Issi in particular will be happy. I am a mother, wife, student and adult. I am strong, passionate, loyal and clumsy. I am a reader who enjoys the escapism of books. I am a writer who enjoys becoming one with her stories. I am the sum of everything that has been and yet to come. I am me.
