Rusty Anderson

Rusty Anderson discovered his passion for writing in the fourth grade when he was given an assignment to write, illustrate, and bind a book. He enjoyed it so much, he wrote not one, but five. One of those first books, Smoug’s First Creation, received recognition at a school district writing competition. He credits his children for keeping his imagination alive as they have routinely asked for bedtime stories over the years. Some of those short stories are now being published as The Adventures of Jazzle Divine. His debut book, Calvin Sparks and the Crossing to Cambria, is the first book in the Calvin Sparks middle grade fantasy adventure series. He has published 6 books (most of which are chapter books ages 8-14). Rusty lives with his family in the beautiful mountain valley of Heber City, Utah.
