About Ruth Talbot

Hello readers! I am a fiction writer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I live with my husband and rescue pup. I love to comb through old newspapers for story ideas. This is how I was inspired to write The Raffle Baby, which is based on a shocking true story of the Great Depression. When you read the book, I hope you feel a lyrical momentum that moves you, whimsy that delights you, and characters who take root in your heart. I've listed some of my favorite novels below. It's no coincidence that they are all historical fiction! ◻️ The Last Days of Dogtown, Anita Diamant ◻️ News of the World, Paulette Jiles ◻️ The Two Pound Tram, William Newton ◻️ Zorrie, Laird Hunt ◻️ Year of Wonder, Geraldine Brooks |
