Ruthie “R.V.” East

is a reader-turned-author who writes about seemingly ordinary people who discover the extraordinary within. 

As Ruthie, she pens cozy mysteries where amateur sleuths don’t take “no” for an answer, especially when the clues don’t add up. 

As R.V., she is currently dreaming up stories about inheritance and resistance, the cost of survival, and the courage to be too much in a world that demands smallness.
