Anita Tiemeyer was born and raised in Columbus, Indiana. She graduated with honors in music education and history from Western Illinois University in 1980. She was a member of the 539th Air Force Band stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, from 1983-1991. She performed on oboe and alto saxophone in several groups, touring the southwest United States. She was awarded her master's of music degree from Butler University in 1995, and she was a free-lance musician in Central Indiana for many years. She has maintained a private music lesson studio for over thirty-five years. Being a storyteller since childhood, Anita started putting her creative work to paper in 1999. Her original book, The Guardian's Son, follows the life of Joe Kaufmann, a child survivor from the Buchenwald concentration camp. As the book was originally over 900 pages, she has split it into six novels, which can be read individually or as a series. Her first published novel, A Brother for Sorrows, is book four. Readers will be drawn into Joe's mental and emotional struggles as he tries to come to terms with his memories of the concentration camp experience that plague him for his entire life. There is a wealth of diverse, complex characters, plot twists, and expansive, descriptive settings. Because of her love of history, Anita has thoroughly researched these books for historical accuracy. Anita has also written several short stories. These are parables with a moral lesson. The characters are faced to make choices when confronted with greed, deception, and lies that put their livelihoods on the line. They are challenged to make difficult decisions that test their honesty, compassion, and integrity. Anita resides in Indianapolis. Beside her passion for writing and music, she maintains several vigorous gardens and enjoys movies, reading, baking, and hiking.
