Ann Stanley

A bookworm from the age of six, Ann Stanley writes short stories and novels, and is a regular contributor to shortfictionbreak.com. Two of her short stories will be published in Mosaic, A Story Cartel Compilation in January, 2015. You can occasionally catch her sparkling flute and piccolo spicing up salsa, bossas, and other tropical music in Tropicante, from Bend, OR, or run across her attempting to control her two corgis on one of Central Oregon’s many trails.
