Myers was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Her father was an attorney, her mother a homemaker. Myers attended the University of Louisville, earning a BA in History and an MD from the School of Medicine. She also completed a residency program in psychiatry and practiced at a public mental health clinic in eastern Kentucky for approximately ten years before taking up writing fulltime. Myers now lives in Louisville, Kentucky with her husband, Lawrence. The couple has two adult children and four grandchildren.

Myers combined her love of history, opera, Italy, and mystery to write the Baroque Mystery series. She often states that she fell in love with the mystery genre while reading Agatha Christie as a young girl. She credits Anne Rice’s Cry to Heaven and Steven Saylor’s Gordianus the Finder series with providing inspiration for her historical series that follows the career of Venetian castrato soprano and amateur sleuth Tito Amato. Her first novel, Interrupted Aria, was published by Poisoned Pen Press in 2004. The series now encompasses five books. Her first published short story, “A Baroque Phantom,” was also set in Venice and has been followed by numerous others. Four stories which have been published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine form a series featuring Nico Zianni, an eighteenth-century “Private Eye.”

Myers’ work has been nominated for the Macavity Award, Kentucky Literary Award, and Derringer Award. One of her short stories, “Haven City,” was named a Notable Story of 2006 by the Million Writers Award.

She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Historical Novel Society. She has served on the board of the Midwest Chapter of MWA and the Ohio River Valley Chapter of SinC and was Program Chair for the Kentucky Woman’s Book Festival 2006.
