Ruth recently graduated from Falmouth University with a First Class Honours Degree in English with Creative Writing. She now resides on her parents’ farm in the wet hills of Wales.
As a graduate-turned-sheep-herder she divides her time between freelance writing and trying unsuccessfully to market her controversial fashion line: “Saris for Ewes”.
