Ruth C Mitchell

Award-winning author Ruth C Mitchell has led an exciting and adventurous life through her careers as a novelist, freelance writer, travel writer, publisher, editor, columnist, and entrepreneur.

Ruth's fantasy novel Two Moons of Merth was recently featured on the USC campus at the LA Times Festival of Books 2024. Two Moons of Merth is the first book in a trilogy, with the second book, Jaxyl Warrior Princess, most recently released. One reviewer of Two Moons of Merth declared it a "masterpiece of fantasy fiction." The fantasy trilogy delves into female empowerment, spirituality, and perseverance, rebuffing typical male-centric societal expectations and beliefs. If you are looking for a fast-paced adventure with thought-provoking themes, you will love discovering more about Merth and the extraordinary characters who inhabit it. Each book is a stand-alone adventure.

Ruth's writing style is brisk and engaging with a steady stream of action, intrigue, and adventure that readers love, with plenty of suspense woven in from chapter to chapter. She has two other novels other than the Merth Trilogy. They are Beyond: A Tale of Discovery on the Other Side of Life, which won a Pencraft Book Award for science fiction. Her first novel is White Oak: A Steamy Tale of Love and Seduction. Ruth has also written a popular book on Codependency Recovery titled, Living Happy Joyous and Free. It is a collection of her columns written for the One Day at a Time newspaper and included on several Amazon self-help lists.

Mitchell's contributions to the Writer's Colony of Dairy Hollow's online Emerge magazine were included in the Award-winning Dairy Hollow Echo which received a 2022 International Book Award hosted by American Book Fest.

Ruth's non-fiction articles have appeared in Art & Antiques, The San Francisco Bay Guardian, American History, Fodor's USA Travel Guide and Fodor's Great American Vacations, Watercolor, American Style, Niche, Wedding Dresses, and Sailing magazines.
