Ann Lister is a native New Englander currently living on the island of Martha's Vineyard with her husband, Robert Lister. She has pulled details from her years living in the New England area and uses many local settings and landmarks in her novels.

After graduating art school, marrying, and raising two daughters, she established her own video production company. Her nearly two decades working in video production included work within the music industry and won her a coveted Telly Award. It was this 'behind-the-scenes' exposure to the music world that inspired her first two novels, Sheet Music - A Rock 'n' Roll Love Story and For All The Right Reasons.

A third novel, Without A Doubt, is expected in 2011.

When not writing, she enjoys creating stained glass and traveling.
