About Loni

A woman with glasses resting her chin on her hand inside a kitchen, with a sink, a dish towel, and a faucet visible in the background.

Loni Cerise is best known for her corny dad jokes and inability to hide what she is thinking. She has serial killer handwriting, speaks fluent sarcasm, and gets excited over weaving thrilling stories and ideas meant to surprise readers and break their hearts at the same time. It's not uncommon to catch her questioning most anything, seeking solid evidence, reasoning, and rationality.

When Cerise is not focusing on the grit and grime of her stories, this California native escapes the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area to go on off road camping trips with her Jeep and family. Loni enjoys snuggling her dogs with a good book (kindle), annoying her husband like any dutiful partner should, and binge watching a mind bending show. Her other skills lie in cursing like a sailor, being a clumsy hot mess, and feeding cozy meals to the people she loves.

“A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.” – George R.R. Martin
