Zelly Ruskin

Zelly Ruskin is the award-winning author of Not Yours to Keep (She Writes Press, 2024). She writes domestic suspense that explores the secrets families keep—and the resilience that carries them through. A former social worker and adoption consultant, Zelly is also a (sometimes) artist and a passionate volunteer for brain aneurysm awareness. When she’s not devising twisty plots, she’s likely traveling or hiking—where the next idea often finds her. She lives in New York City with her ridiculous doodle, Strudel.
