Indah Gunawan grew up as a third-culture kid going to international schools in Jakarta, Indonesia, and then moved to Los Angeles, CA on an international student visa to pursue her undergraduate studies at Loyola Marymount University—all of which she writes about in her debut novel Transient: The Bridge Between Worlds. She is classically trained in singing, spent ten years in choir, and plays the flute and piano. When she doesn’t have her head buried in a book, or eyes glued onto a Korean drama, she’s probably on her Nintendo Switch playing Animal Crossing, or taking a nap with her Shih Tzu.
