== Personal life ==
Myers was born in Barnehurst,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/97258.Amy_Myers )〕 which was still considered part of Kent in 1938. (In 1965, the town became part of Greater London.) It was while working in publishing that Myers met her soon-to-be American husband. Myers oversaw the publication of an autobiography by English bullfighter Henry Higgins; she met Higgins, his co-author, and the co-author's cousin, James Myers, born in Buffalo, New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.severnhouse.com/author/Amy+Myers/9471 )〕 Although American-born, James Myers, has spent his adult life living in Europe.〔
For 10 years, the Myers maintained a commuter marriage, dividing their time between Paris, where James worked, and London, where Amy worked.〔〔〔 It was during her stays in Paris that Myers dreamed up the character for her first mystery series, Auguste Didier, a half-English, half French chef who reluctantly dabbled in detection during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.〔 The couple now live in Kent full time.〔〔〔
