Unlike a lot of authors, Ruth Downie didn’t always want to be a writer or even see that as a career path for herself. She was content to get married, settle down and have some children of her own; to live happily ever after. It wasn’t until a family vacation that she got the itch and came up with what would become the Medicus Investigation series.
A trip to Hadrian’s Wall on holiday with the family is what started it all when she read that the Roman soldiers were allowed to have relationships with local women, but they were not allowed to marry them. This struck her as a great premise for a story and she started to research Roman Britain as well as how to write a novel. Soon, Medicus and the Disappearing Dancing Girls was born.
