Ruth was born in 1956 in Coventry and studied Archaeology at University College, Cardiff. She worked for seventeen years as an antiquities restorer at the British Museum, sometimes working on site on excavations, both in Britain and abroad. After that she lived in Shropshire for sixteen years, working at the County Court. The bleak beauty of the Mosses in the north of the county, and the fascinating history of the area, inspired her to write The Witchfinder’s Assistant. Ruth then moved to the Cotswolds and until recently worked in a care home. She started writing novels at primary school, and has continued to do so, in many genres, though is most passionate about historical fiction. She has won short story competitions and is particularly proud of coming second in a limerick contest. In 2012 and 2013, writing as Aaron Adams, she had two Westerns published by Robert Hale. She lives with her husband, David, who is both her fiercest critic and greatest champion. Ruth is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association, The Crime Writers' Association and Oxford Playwrights.
