Ruth Yunker is a writer and humorist, a columnist and blogger, a short story writer and essayist.
She's been writing forever, and still loves it.
Ruth has two grown children, is addicted to cashews, the New York Times crossword puzzle, and yoga. She lives in Newport Beach, CA., but has one toe in Paris at all times.
She has always had cats, but now that the last has gone to her reward, Ruth wants, no, craves, a dog (or two). This will happen, but not right now!

Beth Hi Ruth,
Thanks for sending a friend request to this fellow Goodreads author! I'll be traveling to Toulouse, France and Lisbon, Portugal this year, and their surroundings. Would love to get any tips from you if you have them!
