I have always loved reading. In middle and high school, I could be found with my nose in a book between classes while others were flirting and primping. In a small way, I hated to turn 16 because it meant I could drive to school and didn't have the extra hour in the morning to read a few extra chapters. I love paperbacks. Hardbacks, not so much. They are heavy and cumbersome and come with dust jackets, which I loath. I adore my Kindle. I love the ease of buying books and the secrecy I can enjoy them in. No more bright pink or swarthy man-laden covers being seen and judged by cashiers for this gal!

I quit reading for fun in college; there was just too much to do. It was a hard time after graduation–in a new city with no friends and a first husband who didn't like me very much. One day I went into a used bookstore and tripped over a display of the Dark Series by Christine Feehan. I bought each one as they came out. Because of that, if I had to pick a favorite genre it would be paranormal romance. I do read tons of other stuff. I like action and adventure, and choose paranormal, fantasy or sci-fi over everything else. If a book only has romance without all the running and chasing and fighting of vamps or dragons or cyborgs, then I'll probably pass.

I am now married to a kind, artistic, highly intelligent man, who looks like a nerdy biker. He rocks the sideburns and forearm tattoo better than anyone I've ever seen. Eric's paperback collection is one of the main reasons I married him. He had a massive amount lining the walls of his bedroom (how sexy is that!) and I knew I had to have them–and him–as my own. Our wedding was aboard the Carnival Cruise Ship, the Ecstasy, and we were the only attendees save our officiant, the Justice of the Peace. It was just for us and it was perfect. I would advise more people to forget about what everyone else wants for their special day and to spend the money on a glorious honeymoon that just happens to start with a civil ceremony. It's what we did and we have no regrets. Eric is the reason I have time, and the inspiration, to write.

We have a genius daughter, Gwendolyn Ygraine, who takes the space and energy of four and may take over the world one day. Our family is further rounded out by our animals: three cats (Virgil, Trailmix and Mauvra), a Chihuahua/Terrier mix named Hitchens and several fish. I love to play card and board games and I am a sore loser– the worst. I was born and raised in East Texas and I have lived as far from home as Austin, Texas where I earned a BFA from UT in Acting with a History Minor.

I am the kind of writer who always has several works in progress and Wretched Blood, book two of the Carrier Trilogy, is almost complete. I also have upcoming releases for both my Mount Haven Quickie and Sinnis series. And, a standalone more horror than romance vampire novel is in the works. You can also visit my website for more Sinnis short stories. I am very excited about all of this and so thrilled that I get to write what I love and that I have people who want to read it. Thank you so much for your support."

Author Natalie Gibson writes what she likes to read. No matter what genre, her stories are filled with action and adventure that will keep you turning the page, haunting images that stick with you, and endings that keep you coming back for more. Her blend of paranormal and urban fantasy, whether it be contemporary or historical, provides for an entertaining read.

If you enjoy your romance on the steamy side and heavy on the paranormal, then try the books of Sinnis. If you like your erotica short, to the point, mildly romantic, and touching on a variety of kink, you will enjoy the Mount Haven Quickies. If you're looking for something darker with mind-bending thrills, then check out the Carrier Trilogy. ...more

2012 was a pretty good year for me as an author. I wrote 3 books (Ishtar Rising, Hateful Burden and Veil of Ishtar) and 3 erotic short stories. I gave up on big publishing houses and published all my works thanks to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. It is hard to believe I started selling only 10 months ago. I have gotten some great reviews and loyal fans and met some supportive new peers. I joined a wonderful group of women who share my love of reviewing romance novels on Satin Sheets Romance Reviews. Thank you all. Happy New Years!

I have seen what Facebook can do for book sales. I decided to see what Goodreads can do. I have been using Goodreads for a while but mostly just for tracking my own reading and writing reviews. Now I am going to try to get active in the Goodreads community. I will suggest my books to groups - if they are a good match. I will figure this site out. November is the month. I am just starting a few days early.

I love this place. I have always been a reader. I would read more but I have this pesky little responsibility called paying the bills! I cannot wait until my writing is something I can rely on as my primary income. Then I can spend my days reading what I want and writing what i think others want. :)

I have so many books on my to read list. I am having trouble deciding what to move on to next. I love the indie publishing world. It is populated with some very talented people I never would have known existed if I relied on the publishing houses.
