Ruth Drabkin’s storytelling is steeped in rich experiences and a lifelong love of discovery. Her journey began not just with words, but with coffee. She first explored the world of beans and brews at Dean & Deluca in Washington, D.C., where she learned the art of selecting coffee from different regions and countries. This sparked a curiosity about global cultures and opened a window into world exploration through flavor.

Later, Ruth spent three years as a barista at Starbucks inside a bustling grocery store, where she perfected her craft one espresso at a time. The daily rhythm of brewing, serving, and connecting with people deepened her understanding of community and the simple joys found in a good cup of coffee.

That same spirit of exploration infuses Ruth’s writing. She is the author of the mystery-romance-comedy novel Revealations, as well as several beloved children’s books. Whether entertaining young readers or crafting layered stories for adults, Ruth brings curiosity, humor, and heart to every page.
