Toni McGee Causey lives in Baton Rouge with her husband and two sons; a Louisiana native (and Cajun), she has nearly completed a double masters at LSU. She's placed in top tier screenwriting contests, published many non-fiction articles and edited a popular regional magazine.  To support her writing addiction, she and her husband Carl run their own civil construction company. Bobbie Faye is the first in a three-book deal with St. Martin's press on a pre-empt; the chaotic, rollercoaster thriller world of Bobbie Faye owes much to Toni having way more experience than she'd like to own up to in the world of trouble-shooting, disaster-prevention and survival.

"Causey doesn't miss a beat in this wonderful, wacky celebration of Southern eccentricity."

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This hyperpaced, screwball action/adventure with one unforgettable heroine and two sexy heroes is side-splittingly hilarious. Causey, a Cajun and a Louisiana native, reveals a flair for comedy in this uproarious debut novel."

Library Journal (starred review)

"Move over Stephanie and Bubbles you've got major competition tracking north from the Deep South. Bobby Faye might have had a very bad day but Toni McGee Causey is going to have a very good year. With Causey's debut novel (A Griffin Trade Paperback Original), Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day, Bobbie Faye Sumrall is out to capture both the hearts of spunky women everywhere and the minds of men ready for a challenge."

Deadly Pleasures

"It's about time women had an Amazon to look up to… Bobbie Faye is a hurricane-force heroine who makes this novel the perfect adventure yarn."

The Tampa Tribune

"This is an action comedy novel that will delight fans of the Ya Ya/Sweet Potato Queens genre. The pacing of the book will take your breath away."

The Advocate

"If you like Janet Evanovich, if you're looking for a lot of unlikely action (when is the last time someone you know escaped a burning boat by lassoing an oil rig?), or if you're simply having a bad day, go out and find Bobbie Faye. She's an outrageous hoot.

The Times Picayune

"There are many things to love about this book — the plot, the pacing, the dialogue — but my own favorite element is the characterization… But if you want a short description of this great novel, think Die Hard in the swamp. And Bobbie Faye? She's a titanium magnolia."

Bookreporter.com

"Heroine—or superheroine? Bobbie Faye, Southern, eloquent, kick-ass, highly accomplished and just plain nuts, is a magnet for the most colorful collection of riff-raff and the most sexually compelling males south of Minneapolis. Throw in an unlikely MacGuffin and you've got a very, (very, very, very) entertaining book."

"I love BOBBIE FAYE'S VERY (very, very, very) BAD DAY by Toni McGee Causey.  The tears are still running down my cheeks from laughing.  Oh, my.  What talent.  What verve.  What NERVE!"

Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of
THE LAST SPYMASTER

"Hold on for the ride, Bobbie Faye is 100% pure adrenaline! Toni McGee Causey's exceptional debut novel is a page-turning, side-splitting, hilarious caper, complete with mama bears, explosions, double-crosses, an evil villain, a sexy whip-wielding model, a hot cop, a  hotter hostage, and a smart, sassy, crazy heroine. Causey has penned a laugh-out-loud nonstop thriller. Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day is really (really, really, really) good!"

Allison Brennan, USA Today and NY Times bestselling author of The Prey, The  Hunt, and The Kill

"Bobbie Faye is a true original and Toni McGee Causey a true talent!"

Melissa Senate, author of See Jane Date and
Love You To Death

"If there's such a thing as 'screwball suspense', Bobbie Faye is its new pinup girl. Bobbie Faye's Very (Very, Very, Very) Bad Day is so funny it should come with a warning label: 'Do not attempt to eat or drink while reading this book.' A winning combination of an eccentric yet charmingly sassy heroine, a sexy yet baffled hero, slam-bang action, and page-turning mystery (what will Bobbie Faye destroy next?) make this the perfect book for anyone who enjoys Jennifer Crusie or Janet Evanovich."

India Edghill, author of Queenmaker and Wisdom's Daughter

"Bobbie Faye can get into more and funnier trouble faster than Kinsey Millhone, Stephanie Plum, and that chick who drove the bus in "Speed" combined, and there's nobody I'd rather have for a friend, because you just know that if The Bad Guys were holding you prisoner somewhere and the odds were a hundred to one, Bobbie Faye would still come bust you out. She's the go-to poster girl for action-adventure chicklit, and even her enemies like her."

Rosemary Edghill, author of Bell, Book, and Murder and Met by Moonlight
