The Woman in Cabin 10 is one of my favourite books I have ever worked on so I am SO EXCITED that a) it's coming to Netflix!! Starring Keira Knightley! And a truly amazing cast *and* b) @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social has written a sequel! Wouldn't trust that law firm though...

Great interview with @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social for Shotsblog in which she shares her favourite Gothic writers, books and films. Come and hear her talk on 'Fear and Anxiety in Gothic Fiction' at St Hilda's Crime Fiction Weekend. wwwshotsmagcouk.blogspot.com/2025/07/in-s...

This is amazing. What happens when you ask ChatGPT to "edit" your work? Turns out the answer is straight out of Black Mirror amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Had the best time meeting so many inspiring writers at the London Festival of Writing and sharing my journey. Just the best start to the day!

In my new novel, THE ART OF A LIE, Hannah Cole is struggling to run her confectionery shop in 18th C London after her husband's murder, and she believes an Italian delicacy called 'iced cream' might be the answer to her problems. So yesterday I made ice cream the Georgian way!🍦A thread...

Just wanted to check a quote from a Dorothy L. Sayers novel, so I googled it. The indulgence of AI is like watching someone burn down a library every day. I'm sure Google was never perfect but this is actively unhelpful.

I'm hitting the road! Here's a list of my US and Canadian stops, and you can find full details, including booking links, over at ruthware.com/news-and-eve... I'll be sharing my hotel nightmares, answering questions, and signing LOTS of books. I really hope you can join me!

It’s zero day today in book world. Paperback release of Zero Days by @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social & re-release of Zero Saints by @gabino.bsky.social both came out today.

I don't know if this is a writing tip exactly - but a thing I do when first drafting a book: I turn my spell checker and especially my grammar checker OFF.

How can you resist this line up?!

Beside myself with anger about today's wordle. I won't post spoilers but tomorrow there will be words!

Cover reveal! (Or is it author reveal?) My debut YA, 'My Name is Jodie Jones', is out on 11 Sept with @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social. With thanks to Jessica Hare at @theagencybooks.bsky.social.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! My very own local bookshop here in the UK is City Books in Hove, but like everything else we celebrate independent bookshops on a different day (11th October). But wherever you are, why not support an indie today? I've spoken and signed at some amazing indie -

I've still never seen a real live stranger reading my book on public transport so this is my dream! If you're an author, have you? Did you say anything?

What a fantastic list. Bravo to everyone longlisted!

Join us this week with @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social discussing turning her obsession with The Traitors into her new book, the importance of treating writing as a job, & the joys of a TBR pile that’s making its inexorable way across her office. interviewroomone.com/ruth-ware-inte…

Well this is very cool - Good Housekeeping have selected One Perfect Couple as part of their spring bookclub, in some really inspiring company. The full selection is here - www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle... - find out what they thought of Lyla and her fellow islanders!

Jehuda Lindenblatt wanted the writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner to tell his story of survival for years. In finally doing so, she reckons with how many people in her generation push away thoughts of the Holocaust to cope, only to find themselves dealing with them anyway.

I'm not usually one to stir up deliberate controversy but I can't keep silent on such an important issue - today's Connections was awesome and I look forward to how annoyed everyone is going to be

Pulled up at a traffic light in some small Swiss town and... ..wait... what? #MrBenn

Look what just arrived! I will be giving away two copies in my next newsletter and there's still time to sign up over at my website if you want to join! Also please admire my nails, freshly painted in pied de poule to match the cover

Some better news for a change.

This is really creepy: from an AI generated article, describing my next book. It’s not my next book at all, and it’s not the book after that that I’ve got plotted out and have already started writing … but it’s also not a million miles away from the kind of idea I might have played around with.

This is so weird - AI appears to have hallucinated five fake books by me, Alex North, Lisa Jewell, CJ Tudor and Sarah Vaughan. yourstory.com/2025/03/best... I only found out about it because a reader emailed asking how they could preorder Gone in a Whisper and I had to tell her it doesn't exist!

Two rare birds on my Merlin bird call app this morning! In these stressful times it's honestly the most soothing ten minutes of my day. I sit on my back step with my coffee and listen to the birds and watch their calls pop up on the app 🐦‍⬛

ICYMI - the incredible @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social will be joining us in 2026!!

Did you know I have a bookclub? You get some free short stories, and my occasional newsletter with book recommendations and chit-chat. I'll be giving away ARCs of The Woman in Suite 11 as soon as I get my hot little hands on them, so sign up now if you'd like to be included! ruthware.com/book-club/

One of the questions I get asked most is "which book of yours should I start with?" or "if I liked this book, what should I read next?" and there's no simple answer, because all my books are standalones and can be read in any order. What I tend to say is that you should read (1/2)

Friends, I am SO excited to share the luscious UK and Aussie cover for The Woman in Suite 11! The cover design is by the brilliant Matt at @simonschusteruk.bsky.social, and the stunning sprayed edges you can see in the second pic will be available through independent bookshops including

Please tell me I'm not the only person who has a different book for every room in the house #booksky open.substack.com/pub/mserinke...

Ahem. Should you wish to pre-order The Woman in Suite 11 from @barnesandnoble.com this week would be a great time to do it ...

This is truly devastating. Amer was the loveliest person and this is a terrible loss to the crime community. My heart goes out to his family

I don't know what the etiquette is about cross posting from other sites, but Stephen King said nice things about my book over on threads and I can't resist reposting! Stephen King!! My book!!

If you live in the US, then THE ART OF A LIE is also available to preorder now, with a different but equally beautiful cover... www.amazon.com/Art-Lie-Nove...

Signed copies of the sprayed-edges edition of Little Red Death today - available from indie bookshops in the UK l. It’s ridiculously beautiful!

Obligatory "hooray for libraries" post, following receipt of my PLR statement. Goodness knows we all needed something cheering today, and the reminder that tens of thousands of people have borrowed my books in the UK alone was definitely cheering. If one of them was you, thank you!

Pieces of Us is out next month! A heartbreaking yet hopeful novel for fans of PS I Love You, The Memory of Us and The Last Letter from Your Lover. Pre orders really do help - so if you fancy a new read please consider ordering. Any shares would be appreciated xx amazon.co.uk/Pieces-Us-comp…

Terribly sad news about the closure of @thegoodagencyuk.bsky.social. They were a much needed force in UK publishing. Heart goes out to the authors and agents affected www.thebookseller.com/news/the-goo....
