Rusty didn’t just write a book, she wrote a whole soap opera set in a posh Kentucky community with enough drama to make daytime TV producers jealous. Return to Autumn: Part 2 wraps up a saga filled with secrets, lies, and betrayals so juicy, one would expect the horses at Landon Lawns to start gossiping.
From a farm girl in Ontario to rocking stages with The Midnight Ramblers and MIRAGE, Rusty's journey alone could be a bestselling story. And here she is, blending her love for literature, music, and a killer sense of suspense into a romantic fiction drama that’s award-winning, and rightly so.
Honestly, with jockeys carrying secrets darker than a midnight blues riff, and a stable on the brink of scandal, it's surprising the local gossips haven’t staged their own comeback tour. But here’s the real kicker, despite all this intensity, Rusty's storytelling holds a warm, authentic heart that hooks readers deeper than a country ballad’s chorus.

 For me, writing is a pleasure, in fact, it is a passion, one that I truly enjoy 100%. Each new manuscipt is like stepping into the unknown; sometimes it feels like walking a tightrope over waiting spikes below, should I lose my footing, it would be game over. Yet with all its trials and tribulations, I love it. I also love it when I know it has entertained readers. After all, that is what a writer strives for; especially when a reader contacts them to say how much they enjoyed what they read.

 Choosing one’s path in life can often be an overwhelming assortment of unanswered quandaries. When it hands you nothing but poverty, strife, with little chance of survival, the quandary seems impossible to resolve. For the deprived young Englishman, Cyril Landon, born into this stricken world of poverty just prior to WW1, the road in every aspect appeared hopeless.


The small village of South Wood Chester, Gloucestershire, England, offered little for its residents, and for young Cyril, the chance of success in any field appeared far removed from his grasp. But life underestimated this young man, for he was filled with determination, grit, and an endless drive to achieve much better than his station in life was offering, and he would not settle for less.


A labourer’s situation at a local farm outside his village provided a window into a possible future, one he had never given thought to, but through encouragement, plus a growing passion and respect for horses, an entire future was suddenly revealed. Young Cyril would willingly step through a door now opened, a door that would open many more, and he could not wait to see where they would lead. Little did he know at that time, just how far his choice would take him.


Delve into the pages of, Before the Grandeur: The Making of a Horsemaster, the edifying prequel to the thrilling Autumn Trilogy of books by Rusty Blackwood, certain to immerse you into the equestrian world of professional racing, concealed secrets, and an unfaltering love that will encase your heart.

It can often be nothing more than sour grapes."
