Our Goal
To showcase the talents of a restless tomboy writer and the feminine fashions of 1950s Paris.
Who We Are
The Toni Breland Agency (pronounced BREE-lund) is an online entity begun in 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, to promote the creative efforts of U.S. Southern writer Janet Walker. These efforts include Walker's three-book novel, Amazed By Her Grace, with its controversial themes and complex main character; her melodies and lyrics, many of which educate children or honor outstanding women; and her Amazon.com bestseller, What You Didn't Learn In Trucking School: The Trucker's Little Book of Etiquette.
Our Other Mission
To promote the vintage haute couture of 1950s Paris, a look the author admires on others (possibly because it involves a femininity and style she has never possessed) and which, to some degree, adorns a few of her fictional characters.

Walker also creates melodies and lyrics about women who are powerful in life and deeply missed when they have left this life.

A writer will write no matter where she lands. In Walker's case, after she began driving cross-country and declared herself finished with writing, the result is the delightful What You Didn't Learn In Trucking School: The Trucker's Little Book of Etiquette.
Thanks to Pennsylvania publishing strategist Martha Bullen, the book debuted in 2020 with best-selling rank in five Amazon.com categories.

Yes, Walker, the grammar nerd, wistful admirer of bygone French elegance, and lover of all things chivalrous, is a long-haul truck driver! She chose the occupation, she says, because of the solitude, freedom, and responsibility it provides. But she doesn't dismiss the idea of one day becoming a classroom instructor.
