Ruth Danes

Ruth Danes is a British author of fiction and contemporary thriller. Ruth Danes is a pseudonym to preserve the intimacy of the private part of the writer's life. She is best known for the Life on Another Island series and The Flower and the Wolf (2020).

Ruth Danes has lived in four different countries. These global experiences have fueled the creation of the Life on Another Island series—a collection that thrusts characters into unfamiliar, sometimes antagonistic territories, reflecting the essence of human adaptation.

Beyond the series, Danes' literary prowess encompasses The Flower and the Wolf, an engaging contemporary thriller that further showcases her narrative dexterity.

Her venture into alternate history materializes in The Deadly Favour, inaugurating The Woldsheart Chronicles under the Next Chapter label, followed by Another Green and Pleasant Land.
