My pen name Helen Ruby is a head-nod to my heritage, Helen being my grandmother on my mom’s side (and my middle name), and Ruby being the grandmother I never knew on my biological father’s side.

This pen name is to honor my ancestral line and the gifts they’ve instilled in me, such as creativity and fortitude.

In reality, I am Janet Fix, editor and publisher at thewordverve, and proponent of opportunities and dreams.
