About Me

Star Ruby

FINALLY the fantasies are ready for publication. Please visit the New Works page to see the latest episodes.

ABOUT ME: I am a long time suffering novelist of about 40 years. I ended up writing newspaper/magazine articles instead, just so I could procrastinate finishing any novel.

I was encouraged to write short-stories as they are just a tad longer than an article. I love high and epic fantasy and am a big fan of Game of Thrones. Thus I started an itty-bitty short story about a girl and her fight against evil with some of my favorite color (pink) thrown in just for fun. This effort has grown into a full-fledged world of dragons, crystals, wars, mystics, fairies and so much more! There are so many stories running around in my head now, that I’ve decided to put them out onto Kindle Vella rather than release them as stand-alone books. So welcome to my Mandé – a fantasy series and one I hope every fantasy reader will love.

Now that my children have flown the nest, it’s time to concentrate on the things that I love: dogs, water, cemetery preservation, genealogy (lite), history,  travel and writing. There’s also wine, family and friends, but I’m an extrovert/introvert that sometimes peoples too much. I’m still learning my limits.

I’m thrilled that you decided to spend some time with me. Thank you.
