Lori Ann Stephens

Lori Ann Stephens is the author of Blue Running (Moonflower, UK), Some Act of Vision (winner of the National Reader’s Choice Award), Pierre François: 5th Grade Mishaps, Novalee and the Spider Secret, and other novels. Her award-winning short stories have also been published in The Chicago Tribune, The Louisville Review, and Glimmer Train Stories, among other literary journals. Her Creative writing broadened to narrative lyrics when, to her shock, she won the English National Opera’s Miniopera Contest, judged by Neil Gaiman and Jeremy Sams, and her libretti came to life in opera performances in London, Minneapolis, and Dallas. She teaches at Southern Methodist University.
