Author Bio - Ruth Ware

                Obviously this chick is pretty cool, since she wrote The Woman in Cabin 10 which is a fantastic book. But that’s beside the point. Ruth Ware was born in Sussex (United Kingdom) and grew up there. Not much is out there about her childhood. Can’t blame her, I can’t even remember what I ate this morning, much less what happened to me as a child. She ended up graduating from Manchester University (Go Spartans!), after which, she moved to Paris.

                She did a lot of things before becoming a New York Times best-selling author.  She was a waitress. I imagine she was the waitress you get at a restaurant that is so well-spoken you sit there  wondering what else they do with their time when they aren’t pouring you a coffee. She also sold books…very fitting. I can only imagine the amount you end up reading when your job is to sell books (a LOT). Now get this, she taught English as a foreign language. IMPOSSIBLE. I can’t even make my cats meow back at me and some people out there can get people to comprehend a completely different language??? Lastly, she was a press officer. If you’re wondering what exactly a Press Officer does, like I was, allow me to explain. A press officer is a senior advisor who provides advice on how to deal with the news media and, using news management techniques, helps his or her employer to maintain a positive public image and avoid negative media coverage. Fun, right?

                Now I’m sure she had a BLAST with all of that, but, her passion is writing. Specifically, thrillers. Her debut novel was called In a Dark, Dark Wood. It came out in 2015 and hit number 8 on the New York Times Best-Seller list. She followed up with The Woman in Cabin 10 in 2016 and hit number 4 on the best-sellers list. Now, if that isn’t accomplishment I don’t know what is.

                She’s new. She’s rising. She’s extremely talented. Look out.
