Author of the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries and more. I tweet about lots of other stuff too though. She/her. Instagram: ellygriffiths17
- Met a lovely young girl on my walk. Me: are you going back to school this week? Her: I’m an A and E consultant
- I’m only a simple crime writer but don’t children’s parties at pizza restaurants and adult evenings at night clubs take place at different times of the day?
- Yesterday I told my kids that there used to be an ad - must have been for contact lenses - with the slogan ‘men never make passes at girls who wear glasses’. They accused me of making it up. Anyone remember it?
- It’s raining outside but we have the perfect distraction. Meet Pip
- Just received my annual PLR statement. Does everyone know that an author receives 30.58p every time you borrow their book from a library? Thank you libraries, readers and @PLR_UK
- Did not quite believe it until I saw it in The Sunday Times. Huge thanks to anyone who bought or sold The Locked Room this week and congratulations to everyone on the list.
- So sorry to tell you that our beloved Gus died unexpectedly but peacefully at the weekend. We will miss him so much but feel very lucky to have had his company for 18 years.
- Please don’t feel embarrassed. We’ve all been there. I’ve had signings where no-one came! But, really, nothing is wasted - you’ll have made contacts at the bookshop, signed stock etc. Onwards and upwards 😊
- Preaching to the converted here, I’m sure, but Michael Mosley in One Small Thing @BBCRadio4 said that reading novels increases blood flow to the brain, improves your life expectancy and may protect against dementia. Good news!
- Ruth is back! Book 13 will be out on 4th Feb 2021. I can’t wait for you all to discover the sinister world of The Night Hawks. You can preorder here fal.cn/3bnGY
- Apologies to the person who gets this signed copy of The Last Word…
- Took a quick snap on the way to my event in Todmorden on Saturday. Pure chance but I love the shadows and the light. Looks like the start of a book…
