Hi! I'm Toni Buzzeo, Author and School
Library Media Specialist. Unlike my
librarian character, Mrs. Skorupski, I'd be
happy to tell you ANYTHING! From May through December, I live in a colonial farmhouse in Buxton, Maine, on the remaining 35 acres of an old farm, surrounded by many gardens, with my husband, Ken Cyll. My son Topher Cyll, a software engineer and writer lives nearby in Somerville, Massachusetts. But from January to April, we escape the winter storms and live in beautiful Sarasota, Florida.
