“I was born Jack Rourke. My father was a demon and my mother was a whore. I was a thief. I was good at it.”

Welcome to the Ruth Sims website!

 
Please feel free to wander about, read excerpts from THE PHOENIX, see some of the comments from readers, reviewers, and other authors, and find out what I’m working on now. From time to time there will be giveaways and free short stories, so check back once in a while. There’s a brief bit about me along with a photo. And since so many people have asked, there is information on how to get a suitable-for-framing copy of the “Phoenix” painting mentioned in the book.

From early reviews:
“THE PHOENIX is an historical novel set in the last twenty years of the 19th Century. It is a tale of love on many levels, from carnal to devoted friendship to sacrifice. That the protagonists are gay men is almost irrelevant in this story that engages the mind as well as the emotions.”

“The author has taken great care to ensure the accuracy of the details of this fascinating time and the history of the theatre during this time, as well as developing likeable and passionate characters that you will recognize and understand.”

“Nick and Kit, their friends and enemies, will live on in your memory for many years after reading it, and it’s the kind of story that is enjoyable again and again. New complexities appear with each reading.”
