Ruth Ford Elward, a story teller of Mystery and Thrillers. "I love mysteries, whether it be solving a crime that's been committed or finding a long lost artifact that could change the world or how to thwart a plot to regain a kingdom. Another love of mine is thrillers, because the pace is faster and the hero has to be more resourceful than the often better equipped villain," says Ruth. After years in the business world between managing a division for an international financial printing company, modeling in her spare time and later to performing esthetic treatments, Ruth decided her real passion lies in the world of writing. "Writing keeps the mind sharp and gives me the opportunity to exercise my imagination to engage the reader," says Ruth. "One of my greatest joys is to be able to lose myself in my writing. So my writing ranges from Mystery, Suspense, Thrillers which includes the areas of International Mystery and Crime, Paranormal Mystery, Spy Thrillers and Speculative Fiction to the various challenges of aging in Non-Fiction." Ruth lives in Colorado and enjoys biking, golfing and ballroom dancing in her spare time.
