Ruth Mitchell strongly believes the world needs more happy endings. She aims to write “hospital waiting room” books, stories that cheer and distract readers when their world is crumbling, make them laugh and sigh, and finish with a little more hope. All of her books are love stories with plenty of banter, and sizzling chemistry, but no spice. (Just kissing.)
Ruth and her husband live in San Diego, where their four mostly-grown children visit often. She loves long rambling conversations, baking (she makes the best pie), hiking, and running (slowly) along the coasts and canyons of Southern California.

Also, I spent so many years wanting to write and not having the time for it. Now that I'm devoted to writing full time, the stories ideas won't stop. My biggest problem is that there is not enough time to write all the books in my head.(less)

"Very enjoyable! I’m not as familiar with Persuasion as I am with some of Jane Austen’s other works, but this was a fun retelling regardless. Loved the music aspect, especially since my husband and I are both musicians too. "

I initially planned on releasing Tolerable in November 2024 as a Christmas book. In my initial draft the subtitle was a Modern Christmas Pride and Prejudice. Though the action in the book lasts a full calendar year, it begins and ends with Christmas. ...more

“the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it. The attempt to turn this usefully descriptive term into an almost unusable slur is, of course, designed to do the opposite: to freeze us into inaction.”
