Author's Bio

Anne Anthony credits her steady diet of comic books for her ardent belief in superpowers. Her gritty, tender, and amusing stories feature compelling, but flawed humans with bursts of superhero traits. She delights in unmasking the extraordinary in the ordinary downward (and upward) spirals of life. Her career spans the fields of social work, technical writing, clinical law school education, and software project and program management.

Her fiction, essays, and poetry have been published in Prime Magazine, A Quiet Courage, Tell Us A Story, Glass Mountain, Blue Heron Review, The North Carolina Literary Review, Poetry South, and other literary journals.

She lives in Carrboro, North Carolina with her husband and her feisty dog, Clara.
