As a bi, polyam, adhd person, you can’t ask me to choose one thing, like, ever. Which leads me to changing my penname ever five seconds. Here are my latest options:
Nat Fisher

Natalie Hawthorne

Or, keep the OG.

Even with the Onyx Storm, uh, storm (lol) my beta readers cant stop thinking about Blood and Covenant. I know the market is a bit saturated with #romantasy currently, but if any #litagents out there wanna take a chance on lil ole me, I know we got something good going on here.

Hey #booksky, adult speculative/urban/portal fantasy books that feel like this? I’m looking for some comps for my WIP that aren’t movies 😅 Something that feels like Hazbin Hotel or a Tim Burton movie. Bonus points if its about a band with scenes I can look at related to rehearsals and play shows.

Lucky #50??? Sent my 50th query letter today. Lots of people told me they have a goal of 100 query letters and I’m not sure how they manage to achieve that—it feels like I’m starting to run out of people who rep my genre! #WritingCommunity

I've been quiet on here due to an unexpected death in my family. Its been hard to do anything, but yesterday I felt the urge to just write about my family and it felt great. Writing heals and made me realize its not always about getting that pub deal. It's just for my soul.
