Toby Bishop is a pseudonym of science fiction author Louise Marley. Louise Marley used to be a concert and opera singer, but now indulges her taste for the dramatic by writing fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction with a dash of the fantastic under her own name and the pseudonym Toby Bishop. She also teaches young adult and adult writer’s workshops, and teaches for the Long Ridge Writers Group. Read or listen to excerpts of The Horsemistress Saga at Toby Bishop’s website.
