Ruth Fanshaw is the author of 'Flying Free: Poems for Pilgrim Hearts' and 'Gone Before: A Grief Journey in Poems', both of which garnered multiple Readers' Favorite five star reviews. Her work has appeared in the poetry journal 'Time of Singing' and has been featured on the podcast 'Coffee with Jesus'. Ruth is a full-time geek, and wishes you could get paid for that. The great loves of her life include trees, the ocean, and pizza. She's a huge fan of Doctor Who, NCIS, and Beauty and the Beast (80s TV), and is shamelessly addicted to her favourite band, The Piano Guys. Ruth has a neuro-immune condition called M. E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), and has navigated two breakdowns and many bouts of anxiety and depression. Living with these illnesses has challenged her in her walk with God, yet also helped her to experience His love on a deeper level. Ruth has been a committed Christian since 1990. Her faith is the bedrock of her life and informs all her writing.
