A woman always in search of experience, Ann Werner has engaged in a wide range of occupations: waitress, radio advertising sales, copywriter, voiceover work, cemetery plot sales (she thought it was a dead-end job), event coordinator, packaging design, and wine consultant, to name just a few. She also worked as a professional actor, best known for her portrayal of Eliana, maid to the evil Dimera family on the NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives. An avid reader, she's always had a passion for writing and released her first novel THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR in 2000. Since then, she has been busy with her other projects, which include two non-fiction anthologies she compiled with her daughter Kimberley A. Johnson: THE VIRGIN DIARIES and AIN'T NO SUNSHINE: MEN REVEAL THE PAIN OF HEARTBREAK. Ann also penned six other novels: DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES, CRAZY, COOPER'S GROVE, and the After the Apocalypse Trilogy: THE MELT, THE AUGURS, and THE ADEPTS as well as two short stories: THE CHEMTRAIL CONSPIRACY and A VIEW FROM THE MEADOW. She is busy at work on her next novel.
