Ingrid Wolsk was born in New York City. A lonely childhood engendered a longing for adventures and travels, which she chased in her poems and short stories. When the opportunity presented itself at last, she spent ten years living abroad, working both in and out of the arts and theater world, and absorbing experiences to put in her writing. She has two daughters and lives outside of Seattle, Washington.

Ingrid is now working on her second novel, Camp Henley and has published a flash fiction piece called A Screech of Warning under the name of Ingrid Andersen.

The Secret of Anja is her first novel.
