A short story by Victoria Knight
Ruby Peru is a sloppy workaholic and independent operator with weird sleep habits and limited knowledge of pop culture. She drives a beat up pickup truck, and some opine she’s a little bit of a badass. Studying under Kurt Vonnegut in the eighties and David Foster Wallace in the nineties, made her want to never be a writer and instead a person who surfs, climbs, and looks cool on a motorcycle. She isn’t and doesn’t. Instead, Ruby is ready when you are to write ever more meaningful things to ponder between the covers of a book. The first novel in her own name (Bits of String too Small to Save) is available wherever you buy books. Ruby has also ghostwritten and co-written many memoirs for clients including Business Cards and Shoe Leather, with Larry Vaughn.
In her amazing debut novel, Bits of String, writer Ruby Peru boggles and seduces with her marvelous imagery, humor, and storytelling until you find yourself in the middle of an irresistible world populated with exotic and oddly familiar creatures–before you know it you are entwined and delighted to be so. A “must read!” for YA and adult readers alike.
