About me

I am a mother. I write. I laugh. I love to share my world through the power of words. I hope you’ll join me.

Long Version: Cara Long lives in Anchor Point, Alaska. I am a mother to 9 and grandmother of 13. I write as an outlet for my creative side while children are still home. I love my quirky sense of humor and ability to riff off of others. My poetry is published in the Boston Literary Journal and Six-Word Memoirs. I am an author of children’s picture books Filthy Franny and soon to be forthcoming Terrified Tim. Cara owns a lodge, CJ’s, which welcomes guests that want to fish, birdwatch, or just have a quiet space for writing/reflection. So if you find yourself headed North look me up. I love visitors.
