Like many a modern day Mills & Boon author Natalie has her grandmother to thank for introducing her to the world of fabulously rich heroes, beautiful heroines and toe curling passion. As a teen she alternated between her Mills & Boons, Lucy Walkers, Georgette Heyers, Elizabeth Cadells, Mary Stewarts and Agatha Christies and the supposedly more 'serious' classics. But it was either the romance or detective stories that she'd turn to on those days when she wanted a relaxing read.

Natalie loves genre fiction - the getting to know where a story's going to end up, but having no idea how it's going to get there. And she confesses to frequently reading the end of a book first! Only so she can sit back and enjoy the story because she knows it's all going to be alright!

Natalie was fortunate enough to sell her first submission and life nowadays consists of parenting, parenting, parenting and dreaming up gorgeous heroes and heroines who have fun, feisty affairs - what fun!
