My name is Natalie, and this corner is dedicated to incurable fantasy addicts.
What to expect ~ What to read ~ Pick your level of patronage
If you are here, you are one of us. I write and recommend weekly fantasy fiction with a Cornish twist. Real life here is often crazier than anything we can imagine, and I enjoy weaving local myths and history into my tales for you.
What can you expect?
My Wednesday newsletter. You get updates, recommendations, author interviews, random monster facts and micro-fiction. It’s a little slice of West Country life to be enjoyed with coffee.
My weekend fantasy story —something quick enough for me to edit to a decent standard and long enough for you to read while queuing for the changing rooms or at the shops.
All posts are free for 10 days after publication. Then, they go behind the paywall.
What should you read first?
For a quick fiction shot: Where the wild things aren’t and Smoke Break.
If you want an epic fantasy tale, try Tale of 2 Cities.
You can read the dust jacket summary here. It’s a mix of fantasy, humour, horror, and romance.
Are you a fellow writer? You will enjoy the Novel Trenches.
I am documenting my online author journey as I go, from digital distribution to how the top writers manage it.

I love writing for you and talking to you through notes and comments. I want to take it to the next level, creating better and more polished stories, through books, graphic novels or even something animated.
This all costs time and money. I’m halfway through revising my short story collection for the first eBook this winter, which will be professionally edited and finished. All patrons get a free copy of the book, with a dedication and a personal micro-story Patrons will continue to get anything I publish in the future - there are at least two more books coming.
I operate under a Pay What You Can Afford model. You pick the level.
The standard amount is £40 for the year or £4 for the month. However, you can choose an annual subscription for less than that below. Thank you, whatever you decide to do.
