Ruth lives in the English Midlands, having been raised on the Yorkshire Coast on a heady mix of sea-air, good music, and sandstone. A mixed career of strange jobs including analysing chips, undressing actors, and professionally buying shoes have left her poorly prepared for any one of the upcoming predicted apocalypses; unwilling to throw herself in a vat of radioactive gloop, she writes superhero fiction in the hope that it might one day rub off and give her superpowers.

She studied High Risk Colouring-In (Geology) at Durham University, where she discovered that academic scientists are in fact the world's first alcohol based life forms. As a result of this, she can construct a strata map, even when inebriated, and knows what a compass-clinometer is.

A lifelong and self-confessed geek, Ruth paints miniatures, rolls dice, and plays LARP, on purpose. She works full time as a Problem Management Analyst, a job she loves since no two days are ever really alike. She also plays the cello (badly), and invests altogether too much time in Final Fantasy 14 and Guild Wars 2. A year of playing roller derby got her into the best shape she's ever been in, then she realised there are actually only 24 hours in each day, not 36, and promptly gave up all forms of exercise in order to carry on being as geeky as possible. This isn't a sustainable decision (not if she wants to keep fitting into her skinny jeans, anyway).

Her photograph isn't edited. Honest. No, really!
Okay it is. Massively.
Most of the time, she looks like she just fell out of a truck full of honey badgers.
And she really doesn't care.
