Rusty Ellis I punch the shrouded buttons and the machine wails..."Access Denied." I hang my head in shame and try another card, my groceries wait in their plastic bagged home, unsure whether they are going home with me or finding a residence with another customer with cash.

Rusty Ellis As far back as I can remember, I've always enjoyed different levels of expressive art. In high school, I enjoyed writing and reading poetry, and consuming the occasional book.

Rusty Ellis I'm currently working on a series of crime/detective novels. I'm halfway through the first book and am enjoying getting to know my main character, Ransom Walsh.

My interest in these types of novels is very much directed by my 23 years of working in law enforcement. I'm proudly retired now and putting some of these memories to good use.
