True love knows no boundaries.
Soul mates cannot be parted.
A tale worth telling will never fade.
​
I write the kind of books I love to read. Books I can’t bear to put down—the ones that sweep me off my feet and don’t let go. Stories where I lose myself completely, am drawn into worlds as vivid as my own and where I fall head over heels for characters who become friends. My stories whisper to readers long after the book is closed and my characters become friends who are much- missed once the final page is turned. My stories transport my readers to another time and place. They are an escape from the everyday, woven with my dreams, sprinkled with word magic and, most of all, filled with hope.
​
This is what I love to do.
This is why I write.
This is why the stories I create stay with readers long after the final page is turned.

Under Pen Names
As well as writing under my own name I’ve worked with Working Partners on a variety of highly commercial pen name projects. These include the Jessica Fox Hen Night books with Little Black Dress/Headline, Georgie Carter for Harper Collins and my Holly Cavendish book with Pan Macmillan. I keep my Ruth Saberton identity very different and distinctive but I enjoy the collaborative process of writing with a team of editors and I am always willing to consider similar projects or ghost writing.
I’ve also had a novel out called He Loves Me Knot under the name Lucy Hepburn which is published in Germany as Vom Ersten Tag An Und Fur Immer. There have also been approaches regarding celebrity novel ghost writing and collaborations but as I’m sure you can appreciate am not at liberty to divulge any further details.
