Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Ann Chamberlin also spent big blocks of time as a child in Europe where her father was visiting professor of mathematics, including two years as a teenager in Germany. Ann is the author of twenty books, mostly historical novels, many set in the Middle East, including a trilogy set in sixteenth-century Turkey. This trilogy, in translation, spent almost a year on the Turkish bestseller list. Her most recent publication is a memoir, CLOGS AND SHAWLS, about her grandmother's girlhood in Yorkshire, England. She has also written many plays, including JIHAD, which won the best off-off Broadway new play of 1996 and which received a production in Bogota, Colombia at a conference for theatre women for peace.
