Dean, Natalie: - Born and raised in a small coastal town in the south, Natalie was raised to treasure family and love the Lord. She's a homeschooling mom who loves to travel and spend time with her tween son. When she's not busy writing, you can find her cleaning house, cooking dinner, feeding her three rescue cats, trying to make learning fun and coaxing her son to pick up his toys. On less busy days, you may also find her paddling down a spring run in Florida, hiking a mountain trail in Georgia, or just simply reading a book.
