Natalie grew up in New Mexico and spent as many hours as she could escaping the desert heat inside the Erna Fergusson Library. With an endless supply of books and air-conditioning, she found a place where she belonged among the adventure and whimsy of stories and favorite characters.

As an avid reader, writing was never a part of Natalie’s plan but then neither was falling in love with a soldier. She married her husband and they have three amazing children who have grown into pretty cool adults they look forward to spending time with every chance they get. Motherhood and military life taught her that adventure is best experienced with the ones you love and she decided to pour all that humor, chaos, and excitement into her stories.

When Natalie’s not writing she’s binging CourtTv, drinking tea, and driving her retired husband bonkers. She loves hanging out with her family, playing games, traveling around the world, and forcing her anti-cuddling Goldendoodle to snuggle with her on the couch while she reads.

She also very much enjoys connecting with readers. Join her newsletter or hang out with her on Facebook and Instagram.
