Are my
character real or imaginary?
My characters are all
imaginary, but some of their behaviours and personalities are based on my
friends. Gideon, for example is the comedian, and often up to no
good. You know when he enters the room, and he is just like one of my
oldest friends. Christophe is the sensible one, obsessed with detail and
stubborn. He is much like Simon, my husband. Audrey-who is named
after my maternal grandma-is a little like me. She is light hearted and
caring but definitely no pushover.
There are lots of excerpts in
my book from my own life. Christophe meets Logan in school at the age of
six and to start with they didn't like one another. This is just how it
was for my best friend and I.
Christophe and Audrey like to
go out walking on the weekends, and love not seeing a soul. This is
Simon, my husband and I, absorbed in our own little world.
The moment
that Christophe meets Audrey is an adaptation of something that happened to
me. I used to work in a restaurant in a department store, and I was
always somewhat keen on men with long hair. The girls at work knew this
and one day when a particularly good looking bloke with lovely long locks
came in, they all stood behind the hot plate and watched me as I served him on
the till. Twice I keyed the wrong prices in, then I couldn't spit my
words out. He was looking at me, probably wondering what was wrong with
me, and when I finally opened my mouth to tell him how much his meal cost, I
dribbled down my chin. Embarrassing, I know, but worth putting in my
book.
Ruth lives in Rothley, Leicestershire, England with her
space obsessed husband Simon and her black cat Violet, who just wants a warm
knee. She found her love of books at a young age and remembers the smell of the
old library on her monthly visits with her mum. Together they would bring home
books of many different genres and Ruth quickly moved from reading teen novels
to digesting adult books.

Ruth was always afraid of horror films, she remembers the
time her mum bought her The Thing to watch, thinking it a nice science fiction
film. Ruth was terrified and her feelings for horror films remained until her
mid twenties, when, suddenly she began to appreciate horror films and began
reading Urban Fantasy books. Vampire films quickly became a favourite and the
idea for her debut novel slowly began to take place.

Currently Ruth is writing the sequel to Origin of the
Vampire and when she isn't writing and promoting her book she loves to relax by
drawing portraits. The great outdoors is a big passion and holidays in The Lake
District and by the sea in Cornwall and Dorset give Ruth great inspiration. But
it was walking in the woods close to home where Ruth had her eureka moment and
worked out the final piece of the puzzle for her debut novel. Walking in the
countryside near home remains a weekly ritual, and of course coffee and cake is
essential before returning home.
