Anna Jeffrey

In the lower elementary grades, Anna Jeffrey competed in story telling contests, usually about animals. Later, she moved up to competition in extemporaneous story telling, which was sort of like “improv.” Still later, she competed in essay contests. Along the way, due to growing up in a part of the country where TV reception, phone service and even water were at a premium, she became a voracious reader and developed a love of story. A few years ago, a lifelong urge to put some of her mental meanderings into print overcame her and she set out on the creative writing journey. She has been self-employed for most of her adult life in varied entrepreneurial endeavors. She and her husband live in a small town in Texas on a bluff overlooking a lake.
