Ruth F. Stevens likes to write stories that will make you laugh and cry. She hopes this is how readers will respond to her new South Bay Series, a contemporary fiction duology from Black Rose Writing: My Year of Casual Acquaintances (Sept. 2024) and The Unexpected Guests (Dec. 2024). Ruth says, "I like to write about the topics that worry me the most. Since I worry about a great many things, there is never a shortage of material." She's also a big believer in the power of laughter to ease our pain and anxiety. Humor is therefore an important component in anything she writes, no matter how serious the subject. Stage Seven, her debut novel, was inspired in part by real-life experiences dealing with her mother's Alzheimer's disease. It is based on her stage play of the same title. Ruth has been writing professionally for her entire career--including hundreds of articles for magazines, newspapers, and journals--but creative writing is her passion. She took up this endeavor full-time after quitting her day job in 2017. At last count, she's written two plays and three novels. In her spare time, she enjoys travel, hiking, winetasting, hip hop, Broadway musicals, movies, leading a book club, and visiting her grandsons in Manhattan. Ruth is a resident of Torrance, California. She is a former public relations professional (in NY and LA) and proud member of the Dramatists Guild of America, the Women Fiction Writers Association, and a volunteer and acquisitions editor for AlzAuthors.
