All that is me is not gone – Please click on title (above) or the revised book cover (right) to purchase paperback on Amazon
Hi and welcome.
I am an independent author based in Australia. The diary of Ruby Adams is a work of literary fiction.
I never considered my self as a writer and one fine day I decided to tell a story. I listed it on Amazon and the internal Amazon critique lady, approx #243 (from 1000) read it and left her review, mentioning how much she enjoyed it, “it’s as if Ruby and I were in a cafe, and she is telling me her story. I enjoyed the read, a bit teary, but took me deep into her world. Am very glad I selected it, was exactly what I was looking for”.
From her review Goodreads listed it in the top fifty books for a couple of weeks. Thank you kind lady.
Through time, many read it and their feedback was, I can’t stop crying, but I cant put it down. Many had read it cover to cover in one hit. Wow. It was great to hear, as it took me five years to write it.
Internationally acclaimed Australian author, Tom Keneally was given a copy and read it on his way to Edinburgh to recieve a literary award. He contacted me to tell me how much he enjoyed the story, it was as if Ruby was talking to him. He encouraged me to keep writing, admiring my style.
So there it is, I revised the book a while later and the world can now purchase it as a paperback and ebook.
Thank you world.
Warmest Regards,
Ruby

A window into the life’s, love and spiritual side of people not often spoken about. Reminds one of who you really are and what is truly important in this journey on earth. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed.

This is a truly inspiring – Ruby is wonderful story teller (Although she doesn’t think so…) of a life that has been through the most joyous events from meeting the man of her dreams and motherhood’s greatness to excruciatingly painful events. This story will make you laugh out loud, cry & even put it down so you can recapture what you have just read & prompt you to believe in the things that most of us cannot see. Ruby is a believer in the truth of the world with Raw truth, love, & pure honesty.

Oh Ruby, I really understand how hard this book must have been to write. You have a great gift for using the written word to communicate. Had to take allot of breaks to get to the end, quite an emotional read.

It is compelling reading, I read it when I had time and the couldn’t stop, well into the night sometimes. If you ever doubted that this story needs to be published, stop right now! It is so worth publishing.

I was taken on a journey, deeply touching,and entertaining. I wanted Ruby to push through the pain and survive triumphantly. I am a believer of the special connections we can have to those that are here or those that have passed, so I did not need convincing.. I enjoyed Ruby’s descriptive storytelling and a story of love that penetrates all boundaries. Patricia Fox

This is the amazing journey of a woman from youth to marriage, child, untimely passing of her husband and how she coped. But this is not a journey you would expect. It will keep your riveted and unable to put it down. Absolutely excellent.
