About the Author:
Storytelling and inventing new worlds has been a part of Natalie’s life since before she could read or write. Nowadays she mostly writes in English, but you’ll often discover hints of her native Danish or some of the other languages she has picked up along the way.
Danish by birth, Natalie now lives in the green hills of Yorkshire, UK. She spends her evenings writing, drawing, and creating while only mildly hindered by her adventure cat.
