Rusty was born in RAF married quarters in Pembroke Dock in Wales, the youngest of four.
Rusty has had various jobs in her working career, including a short three-year stint in the women s Royal Air Force, but is now a lawyer.
In her spare time, Rusty likes to write children s stories and to try to get these published. This is her third book, the inspiration for which came whilst sitting in a hotel room in mid-Wales gazing out of the window and admiring the view of a tower, that was at the edge of the lake, and so was born Myfanwy and friends.
