Bio

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Natale endured an average childhood with two brothers to annoy and parents to baffle. She planted her nose in a book very early in life and has yet to come up for air. The writing addiction began early as well. Natale was active on her school newspapers and literary magazines, then later she attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, earning bachelor’s degrees in English literature and magazine journalism.

She moved to Louisiana, did some technical writing and editing, married, reproduced a couple of times – and then had a real epiphany: Wouldn't it be fun to make up the stories instead of just reporting them?

She sold her first book in July 2002; it was later called FORGET PRINCE CHARMING, published by Harlequin for its Flipside line in November 2003. She published three other romantic comedies for the same line. Her fifth book, PANDORA’S BOX, was the first in a series of funny paranormal romances now distributed by Amazon's Montlake publishing arm. Books two and three of the series are titled THE DRUID MADE ME DO IT and BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HEART PLACE. Then, October 2012 saw the release of her latest book, a romantic comedy entitled WEDDING DRESS FOR SALE, published by Entangled Publishing.

Currently, Natale resides in lovely central Virginia with her husband, two children and a pair of misbehaving hound dogs.
