Tonifish
Toni never liked her name. That is till she met ToniFish. Will Tonifish convince Toni that is the name she needs to keep?
Excerpt:
It is I, Toni fish,” she saw the big, rounded orange fish say.
She had never seen such a fish. He was such a bright orange, it was as if he almost glowed. And he was almost as round as a beach ball.
In Memory of Toni Hewitt
My mom never liked her name that is until I wrote this story just for her making her see that her name was not all that bad. This is actually one of the first stories I ever wrote and wanted so much for it to be an actual book. So I was glad Kaitie could make my story come alive and you get to read Tonifish with the beautiful artwork Kaitlyn drew. My mom believed in me as a writer and I know she would be touched that Kaitie drew the artwork for this story. So enjoy my fairytale about knowing you just need to be yourself all along as my character soon finds out. Dedicated to the Real Toni, my mom and heroine. I love you’re watching me from heaven above and I can still feel her love even now.

Meet The Author
Tonya Christine Hewitt
I have wanted to be a writer ever since I was 8 years old. I grew up a Navy brat, moving around A LOT! I lived on the navy base in Norfolk, Va, Groton, Ct, Mobile, Al and probably numerous other states as well, so it was hard making friends, being as shy as I was. I did have a close friend in Norfolk named Jennifer. We became friends because just like my characters in Different Colored Dreams we had the same lunch box of Rainbow Brite. We were huge fans of the cartoon. But then, once, again I had to move.
But we moved to Cleveland, TN and that is where my grandparents and cousins lived. I started going to Hopewell Elementary and I got to stay long enough where I had a favorite teacher, Mrs. Armour. She read us books from Judy Blume and E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. She introduced me to my love of books. My dad finally retired and we got to stay here!
But it was not till my teacher took us to the library for reading time, we got to listen to the librarian read us a book. This was no ordinary book. It was a 12 year old girl who wrote her dad a story for being in the army. I felt a connection to her. This girl was four years older than me but I felt I could write a book, even at my young age. I was hooked. I read and wrote all I could. I was determined to accomplish my dream. I promised my mom I would dedicate my first book to her and that I did. A Mystical Journey, the first book I ever self-published, came out in 2009 and six years later, I reformatted it and then, I felt like I had to write all I could!
God gave me my talent and inspires me each and every day and blesses me with so much. My mom will always be my number one fan but sadly, she passed away in 2013. Many books I have written are dedicated to her memory. Lots of my ideas come from wanting to make presents for people and seeing them smile from the story I have written. The words always seemed rather magical to me and I love that writing can take me wherever imagination roams.
I co-write a series with my best friend, Trisha King under the pen name Larissa Moon. We love that you stopped by our site to find out more about us and our writing!
