Ingrid J. Adams
Ingrid J. Adams is the author of the Descended series, an award-nominated epic paranormal love story steeped in fantasy.
Ingrid’s journey to becoming a writer was anything but conventional. With degrees in business tourism, journalism, kinesiology and nutrition, and a career spanning media, psychotherapy, and energetic healing, her diverse background has enriched her storytelling in ways she never could have imagined.
Today, she lives in chaos by the beach in Manly with her four beautiful boys (five if you count her husband), and her cavoodle (yes, another boy). She's a massive fan of travel, yoga, meditation, farmer's markets, cooking (and eating), ocean-swimming, skiing, and escaping into fictional worlds of her own and others' creation.

There's all sorts of ways of doing that - by being on the fringes of society, by travelling to other cultures or simply by being tipsy during the day.
I write contemporary dystopian fiction set in a recognisable near-future. I love taking reality, nudging it out of kilter and seeing what happens.
Like each and every one of us, my perspective of the world has been affected by many people and experiences: as a teenager I was heavily influ -

I love writing books. I have wanted to do it from such a young age, but unfortunately, I had 'that' teacher who said I wasn't great at writing. But fast forward twenty years, and I realised actually, it doesn't matter what that person thought anymore because I love writing. It was getting to that point where I would be reading 1 or 2 books a week and becoming so frustrated with the ending or, wanting something different to happen that I was desperate to write my own and these books exploded out of me!
So I hope you love them as much as I d
