| About Anthony |
| Anthony R. Cardno Author |
Anthony’s first published work was a “hero history” of Marvel Comics’ “The Invaders” in the now-defunct
Amazing Heroes magazine in the mid-80s. In 1993, his one-act play “Sneakers in the Sand” was produced by
Elmira College. In the late 90s, Anthony had several articles on adventure camping and keeping “creative trip
journals” published in Camping, the official magazine of the American Camping Association, and presented
workshops on storytelling and nature writing at several Alliance of New Jersey Environmental Educators
(ANJEE) conferences. His short story “Invisible Me” was published by Willard & Maple magazine in 2005.
November of 2008 saw the publication of his Christmas novella for all ages, “The Firflake – A Christmas Story,”
by iUniverse. All of which goes to prove that you can live most of your life in the same basic geographic region and
still have your writing be “all over the map.”

A hereditary Mets fan. He was raised in Mahopac, NY, which much to
his city-based relatives’ disbelief is not really “upstate New York” as most
of was a bit closer to “upstate,” but still not quite there. After a two year
detour to Roanoke, VA, he has spent the last twelve years living in
Sussex County, NJ, which actually resembles “upstate New York” most
of the time. (This begs the question: as the most northern point in the
state, why is Sussex County not called “upstate New Jersey?”)
Because not living in upstate New York seems to have become a theme in
his life, much of Anthony’s fiction revolves around the fictional towns of
Baldwin and Kendrick NY and the even more fictional Croton College.
