Ruth Fitzgerald is the author of the 'Emily Sparkes' series, published by Little, Brown UK. Ruth grew up in South Wales, and has spent most of her adult life in Suffolk, via Brighton and Japan. Ruth finds it very difficult to be serious for more than three minutes at a time. One day she realised she was a grown-up and tried to do 'proper' jobs. In fact she tried around 23 proper jobs, but her habit of giggling in management meetings meant she didn't get on as well as she should have. Fortunately, Ruth found that children also find it hard to be serious for more than three minutes at a time and they also hate management meetings. Since realising this she has stopped going to meetings and started writing funny stories. Now everyone is happy ...more

Thank you so much for getting in touch and saying nice things about the books. I love hearing from readers. It's great that your mum is reading the book with you - she sounds like a superstar mum! I'm not writing any more Emily Sparkes books at he moment, but I am writing an Emily short story which will go on the website to read for free (this is a secret... oops!). I'm also writing something else which has girls and fun things in but I can't say anything about it yet :)
Have fun reading!

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

If you man couple as in any pairing, I think it almost has to be Holmes and Watson, then of course there's my lovely friend Robin Steven's thoroughly excellent detectives, Daisy and Hazel. If we're talking romantically involved couples, then Romeo and Juliet have to be number one but how about the self-destructive relationships of Cathy and Heathcliff or even Mrs and Mrs Twit! Or maybe Gatsby and Daisy, because F Scott Fitzgerald is my great-grandad (OK. I just made that up - let's call it an 'alternative fact'). If we include animals then there's George and Timmy the dog and Scooby and Shaggy. too many to choose from. What's yours?(less)

Another New Year!

A rather late, 'Happy New Year' - late because I've been as busy as a workaholic mole (I think they work hard, all that digging!) to get my new book written. It's now with my agent and I be working on revisions over the coming months. Finishing a book is a similar feeling to finishing your exams - you wake up the next morning wondering what to do with your brain. But that feeling doesn't last long Read more of this blog post »
