Anna Leslie Long (you can just call her Anna) is a North Carolina native and long-time lover of the written word. When it comes to books, she’s often re-reading her favorites or researching upcoming botanical horror stories.

She’s enthusiastic about other things, too, such as: 80’s new wave, amphibians, a nice meal, and answering the call of the mountains. She hopes to one day find a goblin market or a portal to another realm.

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman

“Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
“Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”
