Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, my name’s Ruth, I’m an indie writer with my debut novel successfully released on Amazon this summer! Yay!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book “Fireflies Glow Only in the Dark” was inspired by my own life experience and the strong will to share my thoughts with other teens who might’ve faced similar problems and fears. The main character, Lana, is a reflection of my soul and, as one of my readers said, “she’s a ghost floating through life.” She’s lost and hurt, and she doesn’t have any past except the accident that changed her life. So that was the thing that inspired me the most – to make Lana’s personality almost translucent, ethereal, so that people could see themselves in her reflection.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I bite the insides of my cheeks when writing. I know, I know, bad habit. I’m working on it:)
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a big fan of classics, so that would be F. Fitzgerald, A. Camus, E. Remarque, and F. Dostoevsky.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“It’s your responsibility to be happy.”
