Ruby Soames writes emotionally charged, character-driven fiction about ambition, desire, and the fallout from choices we can’t take back. She's fascinated by the tension between self-preservation and self-destruction—especially when it plays out behind closed doors, in relationships that seem perfect from the outside. If you enjoy the layered domestic tension of Big Little Lies, the cool intelligence of Anne Tyler, or the emotional undercurrent of Maggie O’Farrell, you’ll feel right at home reading any of her novels. Born in Chelsea to an American-Irish model and film financier, Ruby was expelled from her girls’ boarding school at fifteen. With no qualifications, she got by as a model, painter and decorator and life insurance sales rep until, in love with reading, she found her way to study Literature and Theology at Bristol University. Feeling let down by mainstream education, Ruby taught English in inner-city comprehensives in London. She has an MA in Creative Writing from Manchester Metropolitan University and an MSc in Psychology from Liverpool. Seven Days to Tell You was originally published after winning Readers’ Favourite at the Hookline Novel Writers’ Competition. Ruby’s writing has been published in various magazines, newspapers and anthologies as well as being shortlisted in literary competitions, including The Short-Story Prize. Living in the south of France, Ruby writes, lectures and looks after her two children with travel writer, Jon Bryant. Fun fact: although a descendant of Nell Gwynne, she has never eaten fruit.
