About Author & Speaker Ruth Glover

Author and Speaker, Ruth Glover

I’m originally from the Midwest, moving to the South on a long road. Before I landed in Dallas, I lived in Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. My husband and I lived in Dallas for many years before we moved to Katy, Texas five years ago to be near family.

Writing articles for publication arrived with a need for my clients, while I worked for technology companies, as a recruiter and human resource consultant. I left Corporate America to write full-time. I wrote about our trips to Europe and other travels.

Take a look at the list of books on the next page. Now I write about small towns in Texas. I love to share travel. Occasionally, I slip in a few rants and raves.


Little Texas Towns

When I lived in Dallas, we loved to visit Canton for its huge flea market.  Jefferson held our attention with its good food, huge all-town garage sales, and Longview with its pottery.

Life changed five years ago when we moved to Katy, Texas to be closer to family. We knew about  Rockport and Port Aransas, but Lagrange and Brenham, even tiny Plantersville are engaging.  I continue to write about nearby towns.

I’ve found some places nearby that have fabulous little towns that are a part of Houston. My latest travel article about Tomball showed me I didn’t need to go far to enjoy small towns within one, two, or three hours from home. 

Exploring the well-known and  and towns I never heard of is fun anywhere in Texas .

The Wild Flowers in Texas

Spring Blluebonnets and wild flowers

It’s springtime in Texas! The weather can be beautiful and sunny, making us want to go to the Gulf for fun. Next day you wonder why you don’t own any corduroy. Yesterday we took a quick ride towards Bellville and found that the Bluebonnets are growing with the Indian Painted of fiery red to orange blooms and a few yellow flowers. It’s about time they start to disappear, I think.
