Natalie Griffin is a historical fiction author, dog mom, and pianist. She started a mobile dog grooming company at age 19, where she still works part-time to keep her furry clients in tip-top shape. As a toddler, she'd scribble illegible words on paper, then recite her fanciful stories to her mother. Born and raised in Oklahoma, she can't stand the triple-digit heat, but she does enjoy the excitement that comes from tornado season. If you talk about the storms, you're guaranteed to have a long, animated conversation ahead of you. She mainly writes stories set in the 19th century, believing she always belonged there, with corsets and log cabins. She's a sucker for anything involving fairies. Anything. She stays busy with her hunter husband, daughter, three dogs, and two cats.
