Ann Marie Meyers was born and raised in Trinidad, West Indies, where the longstanding culture of myth and fable excited her from early on. Her imagination was always a wild, inventive one, which she has nurtured over the years. As such, many of her story ideas come from dreams, or gestures, or even a sound.

The inspiration for Pain’s Vacation came to her when she met her husband in 1990. At the time he was suffering from chronic pain due to an accident he was in involved in when he was 16. She wrote a 1300 word short story, which she later turned into a book in 1997.

She is currently working on The Landless Lands, a fantasy trilogy.

She also writes poetry and short stories. One of her stories, entitled Just a Trunk, won first prize in the Betty Simmons Annual Short Story Contest. In 2000 this story was subsequently published in The Manuscripter, a collection of short stories.

She has a degree in languages, speaks French and Spanish, and is a legal and financial freelance translator.

She resides in New York City, the hub of international activity, with her husband and daughter.
