On the Road with Ruby

Where stories meet readers....

One of my favorite parts of being an author is meeting readers face-to-face. Whether at a bookstore, book festival, library, or conference, I'd love the opportunity to say hello and hear your story. Join me for signed books, heartfelt conversations, and stories that celebrate hope, resilience, and the extraordinary people found in ordinary places. Whether you're discovering my novels for the first time or returning as a longtime reader, I'd love the chance to meet you.

I hope our paths cross soon!
