Ruth Madison: Romance Author
After years of combing through the dusty back shelves of libraries looking for my elusive, imperfect hero, I started writing my own.
My romantic tales are full of wounded heroes: men physically challenged by life, but not defeated. These men overcome the difficulties of amputation, paralysis, or cerebral palsy to find acceptance, happiness, and heroines who love them exactly as they are.
Interviews

- Cafe of Dreams Book Reviews
- 5) What is one thing that you could not live without?
Milkshakes. Of all the vices for an author to have, mine is pretty tame I guess. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs or even drink any coffee, but I love milkshakes and will drink them even on the coldest winter day. - Ritesh Kala's Book Reviews
- Today. I welcome to the blog, author Ruth Madison. I found her books to be really intriguing as her most of her books contain characters who have some disability, and yet try to live a normal life.

Book Formats-What's your favorite?
Ebooks are the hot new thing, and I'll admit I was reluctant to join that bandwagon. I love to hold a book in my hands, to dog ear the pages and highlight them. Then I got the Kindle app on my ipod touch and now I do most of my reading by ebook. The convenience is great, the ability to carry dozens of books at a time and also the lower cost of many ebooks. What do you think?

Points of View
There are many different ways to show the actions of a story and point of view (POV) is a critical choice. Some write a book all from a single character's POV, others switch between main characters, and others let the narrator be the POV.

- Interesting! What do you like about books on CD? You weren't able to add them with the add button? Or does Amazon not have them? I'd like to hear more.
