A few months ago I was asked to give the after-dinner speech at the CWA Daggers. I chose to talk about AI, and the bravery and humanity involved in reading and writing. Afterwards a lot of people asked me to post the speech online, so here it is. I hope you like it ruthware.com/daggers-spee...

The Woman in Cabin 10 is one of my favourite books I have ever worked on so I am SO EXCITED that a) it's coming to Netflix!! Starring Keira Knightley! And a truly amazing cast *and* b) @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social has written a sequel! Wouldn't trust that law firm though...

Page 253 in The Woman in Suite 11, which references a law firm of 'Callahan, Hennessey and White' aka Ruth's US and UK editor, and her agent for The Woman in Cabin 10.

Just wanted to check a quote from a Dorothy L. Sayers novel, so I googled it. The indulgence of AI is like watching someone burn down a library every day. I'm sure Google was never perfect but this is actively unhelpful.

AI is baffled by metaphorical language and is off to the optician.

Jehuda Lindenblatt wanted the writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner to tell his story of survival for years. In finally doing so, she reckons with how many people in her generation push away thoughts of the Holocaust to cope, only to find themselves dealing with them anyway.

One of the questions I get asked most is "which book of yours should I start with?" or "if I liked this book, what should I read next?" and there's no simple answer, because all my books are standalones and can be read in any order. What I tend to say is that you should read (1/2)
