About this author

edit data

Anne Ipsen has written two memoirs about her childhood in Denmark and teenage years in Boston. Her historical novel "At the Concord of the Rivers," a about the Puritans in 1692, was just published in 2011. An earlier historical novel sequence follows the lives of Karen and Peter in the period 1875-1890. They were born in Denmark, sailed around the world and eventually settled on the Minnesota prairie.

Anne was born in Denmark, but grew up and went to school in the Boston area. After many years as a professor at the University of Minnesota, she is now a full-time writer. She and her husband have returned to live in Newton, Massachusetts.
