Donald Ruff currently lives in Marshallville, OH with his wife, 4 cats in a house surrounded by 700 varieties of hostas. When he is not helping his wife take care of the yard, he is busy with the arduous task of being a writer of humorous fiction.
One review of Donald is that he writes humorous stories about everyday life. He turns those stories around in his head and writes a complete book blending all the stories into one exciting adventure.
Donald has a tremendous amount of fun turning the excess happy endorphins in his brain into words in a book that make people laugh.

Hostas
This book is the humorous look at the world of hostas and being married to a hosta fanatic. If you are so lucky to live in a house with a plant enthusiast, this book is for you.
My darling wife is doing what she enjoys the most. She gets dirty in the yard while, me, her devoted husband, admires her gardening skills. With over 700 varieties of hostas planted in the ground, she is having more fun one could possibly have. The more hostas, the more fun is our motto in this house.
The summers are spent with blissful togetherness as she tells me where to did the holes for the new $200 hostas she just bought. The winters are spent with quality time buying more hostas during the online hosta auctions.
It's My House Now
I wrote this book because my house was mentioned by another author in his book. At the time he wrote his book, my house was the other author's brother's house. This book is a fun hilarious look at home ownership while being married to a plant fanatic. Reading this book may be some of the funniest moments of you day.
Customer Service: The art of the impossible
This fictional portrayal is a humorous look at corporate retail trying to serve their two masters, Customers and Stockholders. Customers want to give up as little amount of money as possible. Stockholders want customers to spend as much money as possible. Corporate tries to please both masters. The brave savvy heroic customer service associate keeps the enterprise going. The customer service associates are the heroes and heroines.
This book is a humorous view of Customer Service. The problem of wrong customer service occurs before the customer enters into the business to engage in a service or a product. The analogy is that there is a hole in the dam and there is water damage downstream from the dam. Everyone is concentrating on managing the downstream damage, rather than fixing the hole in the dam. The hero, the customer service employee, has the solution to all poor customer service issues. I use humor and make the employee empowered to stop poor customer service before the customer utters the first word. I introduce a way that will solve all the Customer Service issues.
