The Interview - Ruth C Mitchell
What do readers say about your characters?
They say they really enjoy how they are well-developed and each has a distinguishable voice.
Who is your favorite character in your book Beyond: A Tale of Discovery on the other Side of Life?
Cloud is a beautiful white German Shepherd who offers his sage thoughts throughout the book. He is definitely the coolest character I have ever conceived.
What is your most favorite book you have written?
The second in the Tales of Merth Trilogy is Jaxyl Warrior Princess. It is really a fun book with lots of action and adventure. After all Jaxyl was born to save the cosmos.
With mostly female protagonists do men enjoy reading your books?
Yes, they do, I get the best reviews from men readers.
Who is your target audience?
I hate that question, I'm not aiming for anyone, but instead attract readers. So the question ought to be who reads your books. And the answer is surprising. Often my readers are well-educated and they read a lot. My books are somewhat escape-literature, but there is always a deeper meaning. They are filled with themes for thoughtful contemplation.
What is your highest honor received to date?
Several of my books have won awards, but my biggest thrill so far is participating in the LA Time Festival of books 2024.
