The Meanderings Of Ruby Stewart
Meet Ruby Stewart...
I'm what you might call eccentric. I do what I am asked, to the best of my ability, I say “please” and “thank you” and the rest of the time, I tip-toe through life, as not to be heard. Truth be told, I’d rather move to the Himalayas than have a hostile confrontation. Only problem is, I am vexed by these wild dialogues in my head expressing how I really feel, verses what I actually say. In my head, I am a fierce tiger to be reckoned with, but on the outside, a nineteen-fifties, picture of servitude.
Welcome to a quick-witted and humorous introspect of a woman who embraces her flaws and honostly shares her thoughts about her job, observations on life and the man she's loved for two years.
Kick back, grab some coffee and prepare to laugh with a friend!

About the Author
Dr. M. Handy is a storyteller who thrives at the intersection of sharp wit and deep emotion. Her novels transport readers into worlds where ambition collides with desire, and where the ordinary can suddenly take a supernatural turn.
Her corporate romance, The Tiger in My Head, explores power, passion, and the delicate balance between a roar and a whisper in the high-stakes business world. With an eye for human complexity and corporate intrigue, Handy delivers characters you’ll root for—and some you’ll love to hate.
Her latest work, True Vision, is a supernatural, coming-of-age suspense that dives into the unseen forces shaping destiny. Blending mystery with a deep sense of personal transformation, the story keeps readers on edge while tugging at their hearts.
When she’s not writing, Dr. Handy mentors other writers, develops creative resources, and unapologetically fuels her imagination with coffee and quiet observation.

What a perfect ending. I do NOT like it when people try to bully or intimidate people. And I enjoy a comeuppance in a story when you play it right to the edge. Rudy could use some support in her corner. When she got it, it did not change her. She was as steady as Freddy right up to the end. Well a slight slide to the left but so be it, she is human after all.
I like Rudy and would like to see where she takes her new found confidence (if that is what you can call him).

Was given this book and promised a honest review
A totally different story from all that I have read, and rather enchanting to see the world from a perspective from someone climbing the executive ladder.
Enter Ruby and Mr Claiborne (James) as he enlists Ruby's help with a campaign that is not working and a client who is a pain. The story was cool and moved among a pace I did not think possible, great story and well writen.

I am not politically correct by any means. The one little filter that tells your mouth how to sweeten a remark is missing. It I am often quiet “at the oddest” times. Only because my mom told me to keep my mouth shut if you do not have anything nice to say.
Well Ruby is just the opposite, she smiles and 'day dreams' the things that I would verbalize (but should not say). Until one day…
I will tell you there is a happy conclusion to this book. I hope there is a sequel in the short story because I want to know exactly what happens next. I will tell you Monica Handy has a talent for words. I will tell you her imagination (both of them) is limitless. But I wont tell you the plot or give away any spoilers. Get your own copy. I will not even lend you mine because #Indiewriters must eat also.
Buy this book it is a quick pick you up with a twist and turn and a bump you up. But don’t get me twisted. You will NOT roll over Ruby she has pizzazz. You won’t soon forget her. (Ruby or Monica Handy)
