Ruby Merritt writes historical western romance. Her passion for imagining life and love on the High Plains stems from reading and rereading Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books as a child. Although Ruby doesn't call the High Plains her home, she resides in an equally beautiful and rustic locale, The Gateway to the Texas Hill Country. When Ruby's not reading or writing, she can be found riding her horse or homeschooling her children who are avid horsewomen and readers as well.
