Nancy Rust

Nancy Rust’s writing journey has been truly rewarding. Before becoming an author, she spent over two decades teaching literature to classes of remarkable children in Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Arizona. In 2011, she co-authored her first book with Carol Stubbs. They wrote A Louisiana Christmas: Heritage Recipes and Hometown Celebrations, an authentic recipe book with historical tidbits and Yuletide events. Then they moved into writing books for kids, beginning with What’s Watching Me? And Other Animal Stories, a short story collection that explores the connection between people and animals. Utilizing themes of hope and perseverance in uncertain times, they wrote Andrew Higgins and the Boats That Landed Victory in World War II. Nancy spends a part of most days reading and writing. She especially loves books that inspire children and give them hope. She now lives in Louisiana and Tennessee with her husband and dog Truman. You can visit her online at www.copperirisbooks.com.
