Ryta lives a simple vegetarian life, enjoying a healthy lifestyle by taking organic supplements, exercising and consuming homecooked food.

She enjoys her daily yoga practice. Her hobbies include reading, gardening, cooking, dancing, walking, swimming and other healthy and active pursuits.

She never had any aspiration to be a writer until one day she heard a voice in her head saying “Get on with the book.” At first she ignored this advice, but it became more insistent so she capitulated, sat down and said “Ok God what do you want me to write about?”

Three months and 30,000 words later the first book an autobiography was completed, its title “Small to Medium.”

She has been told this has inspired and encouraged others along their various paths. After selling 1000 copies it is now in its second print. She was asked for a sequel this is titled “Appointment to View.”

“The Tales of Brick Kiln Brook and Dingle Ditch series started because she felt children would like to read stories about animals being kind to one another, cooperation and recycling. This would encourage them to empathise with nature and wildlife.

Now these subjects are covered in most children’s curriculum at school.

She is currently writing a comedy/ drama for TV so watch this spot!
