Eileen Ramsay

Eileen Ramsay was educated in Scotland, the United States and Mexico where she studied Spanish and Mexican culture, especially music. She taught at a prestigious girls’ school in Washington DC and, for a time, at the nursery school started by Jacqueline Kennedy. During the 1968 Presidential campaign Eileen lived with the family of a democratic candidate, acting in loco parentis while the parents were out-of-town but occasionally travelling with them. She married a fellow Scot and moved to California where she completed her Master's Degree – and her family. Her first published stories were written for her sons. Since returning to Scotland she has been both secretary and treasurer of the Society of Authors in Scotland and Hon. Sec of the Romantic Novelists Association.

Some time ago, I announced that there was a new project underway for Eileen Ramsay. I’m delighted to say that Harper Collins commissioned me, as RUBY JACKSON, to write an exciting series of books entitled CHURCHILL’S ANGELS, those wonderful women of WW11 who did everything in their power to aid the war effort. The first two books in the series were published this year. Churchill’s Angels in May and Wave Me Goodbye in November. There’s more information on Ruby Jackson’s page but here are a few snippets from the many reviews.

Ruby Jackson's historical setting is superbly drawn and totally believable, and this adds much to a thoroughly good read.

Ruby Jackson really knows how to write a page turner… a great story with believable characters, look forward to another!

…very touching passages on the impact of the war - both large and small - on civilian life.

In the meantime, several of her earlier works have been reissued – in some cases having been rewritten – and are available on Amazon Kindle.

tere The Mysterious Marquis, a Regency, first published by Warner Books, New York.
Lace for a Lady, a Regency, first published by Severn House.
Never Call it Loving, a contemporary novel, first published by Severn House.
Butterflies in December, a WW1 saga first published by Little Brown.
Sakura and Other Stories. A collection of previously published short stories.
