About Natalie D. Richards
Natalie D. Richards won her first writing competition in the second grade with her short
story about Barbara Frances Bizzlefishes (who wouldn’t dare do the dishes.) She
later misplaced her writing dreams in a maze of cubicles and general office
drudgery. Natalie never forgot about Barbara or those dishes, and eventually
she found her way back to storytelling, following the genre of her heart, teen
fiction. When she’s not writing or shopping her manuscripts, you can probably
find her wading through the towers of dog-eared paperbacks that have taken over
her bedroom. She is a 2012 RWA Golden Heart double finalist. Natalie lives in
Ohio with her amazing husband and their three children, who inspire her every
day to stick with her dreams.
