Dusty wrote for the best-selling Time-Life Books Series, Mysteries of the Unknown, as well as columns for Mademoiselle Magazine and The Manchester Union Leader. She is the author of six books on numerology, astrology and dreams, some of which are printed in foreign languages. She was written up in USA Today, The New York Post, and New Woman Magazine.

From that magical moment when she read her first Bobbsey Twins book, Dusty's love has been, and still is, the mystery genre. She lives in a small New Hampshire town with her husband and family, and a passel of pets.
