| Ruby Nickname: | Ruby Sly | | Biography: |  I’m a quiet nut with the earned middle name of trouble. My first novel went to the top of the East Penn Elementary Bestsellers list. I sold three copies and became a star in third grade. As a reporter for my high school paper, I wrote a few controversial articles concerning the teachers’ lounge, the cafeteria lunches and Mickey Mouse. I spent a few hours speaking to the principal and later became the editor of the paper.
My parents wanted me to be a teacher. I didn’t. So life took me in a different direction and I put my writing to the side. But I always dreamt of completing a novel. One day, after twenty years of PTO and team mom duties under my belt and with the empty nest symptom on my horizon, I decided it was time to fulfill my dream. I found RWA, started typing, submitted, got rejected, cried, blew nose, learned some more and repeated the process more times than I care to admit until BINGO, I found a couple of judges and editors who love my voice. As of this minute, I have two books under contract with The Wild Rose Press.
That’s my past. My present; I’m married to my hero who aspires to be my personal book schlep per. I have five great kids and two adorable grandchildren.
My future; With God’s blessing, I hope to have decades more with my DH by my side, a dozen more grandchildren so that I can spoil them, and a hundred published novels . | | Hometown: | Rural, NE PA | | GH Year(s) | 2009 | | Completed Manuscript(s) | 6 | | Genre(s): | Romantic Suspense & Fun contemporaries | | Started Writing: | 2000 | | Day Job: | Corp.

Suspense or Mystery Evil’s Witness Releases Today
By: Autumn Jordon on June 18, 2010 at 12:01 am
Filed in: blog |
When I began to write romantic suspense, I tossed out several reams of paper. Why? Because no matter how I tried I couldn’t keep my villain hidden. He kept voicing his POV and writing his own chapters. I nearly ripped my hair out by the roots fighting with him to stay silent. Then I read [...]

Filed in: Golden Heart, blog |
Recently, during on one of my fellow sister’s post, I stated that my villain in EVIL’S WITNESS actually came to my house. Some thought that statement was cool. Others raised their brows. Well, I’m here to tell you he did—figuratively he did.
While writing Evil’s Witness, which releases in six short weeks, I had such a [...]
