Ruth Searle had a long career in nursing before following her dream to become a marine biologist. She has a PhD for her humpback whale research and spent many happy hours swimming with whales and diving with sharks. Now she’s finally settled down to be what she’s always wanted to be – an artist and a thriller writer! 

She's spent years working as a traditional artist - now she's having fun experimenting with digital and AI art.

She lives in the Monmouthshire countryside with her husband, cats and rescued hens.
