Meet the artist

A woman with tattooed arms and a short hairstyle, wearing black lingerie with silver accents, sitting on a furry blanket in a dimly lit room with art and candles on the wall.

Hey, I’m Tori!

Wife since 2013 to the sexiest man alive (I said what I said), mama to the most amazing boy, artist, professional book hoarder, and proud Dungeon Master—or Dungeon Mommy, as my crew lovingly calls me.

When I’m not painting, reading questionable things, or plotting the demise of my D&D players, I’m an Assistant Store Manager at Barnes & Noble — because apparently being surrounded by books at home simply wasn’t enough.

My reading taste? Dark romance, fantasy, mystery/thrillers, splatterpunk, and basically anything that makes me say, “What the actual hell did I just read?!” Bonus points if it makes me blush, gasp, cry, or stare at a wall afterward.

But seriously…

My husband and son, my sister Cassie, and my best friends Emma, Sammi, Keeley, Lizzie, Sarah, Nate, Carl, Riley, and Kat — thank you for supporting my weird ideas, listening to me ramble, helping me create, and encouraging me to actually turn this crazy little dream into a business.

And a very special shoutout to my mommy, Pat Sprenkel, who has helped me with even the tiniest details and has been there every step of the way.

I seriously love my support system more than I could ever put into words.
And now, YOU’RE part of it too!

To every new buyer, collector, romance reader, and fellow little weirdo who supports my small business: THANK YOU. Every order, follow, share, and person who stops by my table means more to me than you probably realize.

I hope you love your Book Smashums, and I REALLY hope I get to see you again.

You can catch me causing chaos at romance reader conventions and events — check my Instagram to see where I’ll be next!

Now go collect, obsess & trade.
