Welcome!
On this cite, you can read fiction and nonfiction and view photographs. My work and the work of guest writers and photographers covers a wide variety of subjects and people. My name is Jody Rust. I write, study, take photographs, teach, and edit (out of necessity). I was born and raised in Indiana and have also lived in Arizona and South Dakota. My two children have entered adulthood ready to take on the world, and I have joined them. I took this background photo at Estes Park, CO, where my oldest child worked one summer as a wrangler. Welcome to “At the Heart of It.”
