Tonja Condray Klein has been writing since she was a child, creating fantasy worlds she dreamed others would visit in her own books someday. Placing two consecutive years in the local Optimist Club’s “Freedom: Our Most Precious Heritage” writing contest while in high school as Tonja Condray, the two essays were included in the Northridge High School’s writing publication “Berry Patch” .

As her writing changed, her love of Anime melded with her passion for traditional  Fantasy. She developed her original  Series with the touch of Japanese flavor,  calling it ‘Eirinth no Sosei’ in a Japanese format that she translated as ‘Rebirth of Eirinth’ – her proposed Series title.

While the first novel was being written the complex storyline developed. Tonja commissioned a fellow Anime fan and talented artist Sara Sweitzer “t0shirt” to then create over thirty full-colored original character images to TK’s specifications  while allowing artistic inspiration. Artwork was purchased to be used for promotion designs of BREAKING THE SHACKLES  and to give TK visuals of written characters whose story she had to tell.

Tonja has a Web Page Development Certificate from Edison State Community College and almost two decades of work experience with business proof-reading, creating  business marketing flyers, and the editing of business graphics. This has given TK the skills needed to utilize the original artwork for the website and designing tee-shirts that she wears for marketing. 20 years in Customer Service  also has helped her to promote this Novel’s multimedia project.

Ken Klein (Tonja’s Hubby since 07/07/00) and she live in Dayton, OH. Tonja was a patient escort volunteer at Sycamore Hospital in Miamisburg until 2015 when she received the pin for 500 hours of service pin. TK is also a member of the ACFW, American Christian Fiction Writers. She professionally recorded several original songs that she wrote that are protected by BMI. Three have lyrics used in her novel. Her Cajun Gospel song “Dancin On The Wind” has been on the radio program “Sounds Of The Valley Hosted By Ron Short” several times and heard on local stations, online all over the world, and Smartphone apps. This program also did a spot for her Kindle Scout Campaign  when they played her song September 23rd and 27th, 2015. The song was also chosen as #7 in 2015 Fan Favorites Countdown for that same radio program.

Wearing personally-designed promo t-shirts everywhere, giving Eirinth website cards wherever opportunities arise in Dayton, OH and many surrounding areas, and creating an official Website and Facebook pages for the social media exposure over the past seven years should show her serious determination that a literary agent, book publisher, and anime or live production company should see as a commodity for the success of Eirinth in spite of any obstacle.

BREAKING THE SHACKLES is ready to be a positive influence by inspiring readers to never give up when life gets too tough and to instead believe that each of us is meant for something more. No matter who you are, if you believe in the power of Divine Destiny, you can find the strength to change your own world through the Eternal power of Faith, Hope, and Love!
