Ruby Brown Britt enjoys the lifestyle and traditions of small town South Georgia where she still resides in the town of her birth. Becoming an avid reader at a young age, she began writing in elementary school, but put aside aspirations of becoming a published author until after raising her four children. After a 27-year career with the United States Postal Service and four years as a writer/reporter for a weekly newspaper, Ruby is now retired with more time for her grandchildren. Widowed in late 2007, she remains busy with her church, community and teaching piano one day each week.
