Personal life

Ingrid Parker was born and raised in Germany.[1][2]

She was, until retirement, Associate Professor of English and Foreign Languages at Norfolk State University in Virginia.[3] Writing detective mysteries set in ancient Japan was an incidental result of initial research into 11th century Japan out of professional interest in Japanese literature of the era.[4][5] She was also influenced by the Judge Dee mystery series written by the noted orientalist and diplomat Robert van Gulik.[6]
