Welcome!
Hi there, I'm Natalie! Welcome to my website.
I'm a writer, reader, make believer, and latte enthusiast. I'm passionate about weaving stories that stay with the reader long after they've closed the book. Stay tuned for my debut books, Bitter, a domestic thriller with romantic elements and Wishes in the Weeds, a heartwarming picture book. If you'd like to see what I'm up to while my books are on submission to publishers, check out the tab, IN OTHER WORDS, for other upcoming publications.
Thanks for stopping by!

Unreliable narrators and diary entries are my jam. That bracelet at the end though!? IYKYK
The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
Although I saw this twist coming, I really enjoyed this book. Another thriller that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. Well done. Can see how this is a bestseller for several years running.
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
A frightening and unsettling thriller I'll never forget. Masterfully done. It had me guessing until the very end. You'll find yourself playing this slightly terrifying mind game along with Louise and the seemingly couple, David and Adele. If Stephen King himself calls this novel 'bloody brilliant' you know you need to read it.

There's no Ali Hazelwood book I won't read and love. It's science.

Debut of my friend, Genalea, who made me ugly cry. You'll need tissues for this one.
