Ruth Enright is from Halifax, West Yorkshire. She enjoys holidays in Whitby and the surrounding area. Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby were the inspiration for her debut novel ‘Seahaven’, published by Blossom Spring in September 2021 and available from Amazon. You can hear Ruth talking about 'Seahaven' in a radio podcast interview on TheAuthorsShow.com, which is listed on the archive section of their homepage, in alphabetical order of first name. Ruth has had her second novel 'Button Box' accepted by Blossom Spring, in edit at present, and it will be published in the coming months!
Ruth studied English Language and Literature at Reading University and has always had the ambition to write. She lives in Manchester with her family and works for Manchester City Council, where she has held a number of posts. She is now an Information Governance Officer for the Children’s, Education and Adult Services Departments. Ruth came to Manchester as a graduate trainee in Librarianship with Manchester Polytechnic before changing career paths and training for a certificate in teaching lipreading to adults with acquired deafness. Ruth then had her daughter and later became a local government officer at Manchester City Council.
Ruth has always kept on writing and started a blog a few years ago for her poems, stories and other items. Encouraged by readers, she has recently succeeded in having five short stories published by ‘Yours Fiction’ special short story quarterly magazine.
Ruth loves to read and enjoys writing in both historic and modern settings, experimenting with different genres. Ideas for her writing come from many sources, for instance the name of Robin’s Uncle Jorfant in ‘Seahaven’ came from researching her partner’s family tree! After enjoying the success of having 'Seahaven' published and 'Button Box' accepted, Ruth is working on writing a new novel, with a first draft completed.
