Anne Leigh Parrish sat down one day at an ancient typewriter and banged out a short story. Nine years and many stories later, "A Painful Shade of Blue," found a home in The Virginia Quarterly Review. The story featured the real-life trauma of her parents' divorce when she was only ten years old. While other stories returned to that time and place, most ventured further afield, focusing on women in impossible situations, and blending stark reality with magical realism. In 2014 her first novel, What Is Found, What Is Lost, featuring four generations of women and their experience with religious faith convinced her that she also loved long-form writing. Women Within, her second novel, is another multi-generational story about three women whose lives intersect at the Lindell Retirement home. In both stories and subsequent novels, the Dugan family of Dunston, New York, a fictional town representing Ithaca, where Anne grew up, takes center stage. They're a tough, hard-worn bunch full of love, pain, and fierce devotion to each other - usually. Her linked story collection, Our Love Could Light The World, and her novels The Amendment and Maggie's Ruse follow them over years and many ups and downs. Her forthcoming novel, A Winter Night, due out in March 2021 centers on the eldest daughter, Angie Dugan, and her struggle to find love and self-acceptance. Anne lived in Seattle for thirty-five years until Amazon made driving anywhere a nightmare, then moved with her husband and black female pug to a forest outside of Olympia Washington where she continues to write stories, novels, the occasional essay, and most recently, poetry.
