Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds

A small-town Midwestern nomad from a family of high spirits and laughter. She joined four generations of the maternal family in Washington state. The plan is to stay for the view, the trees, the family, and the friends.  Toni was the first woman to be an insurance adjuster in Florida, and she continued the work. A longtime civil rights activist, Toni published her first book at 67 years old, and defines her genre as OA –older adult. She gathers stories prime for embellishment in unlikely situations. Toni is one of the founding directors of The Writers Cooperative of the Pacific Northwest.
