About the author
Rebecca York
428 books453 followersRuth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

Wow--Light Street and Familiar in one book. What a deal!
August 16, 1999
No faithful Intrigue reader will want to miss this volume, a rare two-for-one that's worth a lot more than the cover price. Ruth Glick proves that the incredible "Nowhere Man" was no fluke and that she's perfectly capable of carrying the Rebecca York name by herself in "Counterfeit Wife." Opening with high drama and never letting up for a moment, Ms. Glick provides twists and turns and more than a few surprises in this tale of how the past can catch up with us. Meanwhile, Caroline Burnes packs so much action, emotion, and suspense into "Familiar Stranger" that it's amazing that this isn't a full-length book by itself. With an unusual hero and our favorite feline detective in action, it's a secret child story with Ms. Burnes' unique storytelling style. You almost wish "After Dark" was released in the winter, since these two stories are destined to heat up a dark night.
