Suzanne Ruby’s writing journey was inspired by her love of romantic short stories and evolved into writing literary fiction, essays and poetry. Her journey came full circle when she got down to the business and pleasure of writing novel-length romance. When she isn’t making her heroes and heroines work hard and play even harder, she is happily being bossed around by her and her husband’s alpha-female German Shepherd at their home in Houston, Texas. www.suzanneruby.com.
