Tori Eldridge is a woman of many inventions. A dancer and performer, a martial artist, a mother and soon to be "Tutu", Hawaiian for grandmother. She's also a gifted writer, author of the stunning debut thriler, "The Ninja Daughter" and "The Ninja's Blade".

We talk about The Craft. But this conversation with Tori, goes well beyond what we write. We talk about the seasons of life and the puzzle pieces that fit together to make it meaningful.

Tori is one of the most agile and creative promoters out there. We discuss how to juggle marketing with creation and the activities that keep us centered in the heart of the maelstrom.
