Natalie Daniel was born in Melbourne Australia but grew up mainly in Adelaide and Newcastle. In 1997 she finally returned to Melbourne, her home. After completing University she spent many years as she calls it "in the corporate wilderness' resisting the constant urge from the writer within to take the risk and make a go of her writing. Her three children were the inspiration to finally dust off the pages of stories and poems that had been stored in drawers and PC files since she was 9 years old and actually publish them. Natalie is passionate about being with her family, meditates and loves to walk along the beach whenever she can.
