I've been telling stories for as long as I can remember, even before I thought of myself as a writer. Most of my ideas start the same way: I'm doing something completely normal and suddenly my brains asks, "WHAT IF?"
What if monsters were friendly? What if dreams were real? What if you chose your life? What if something can see us that we can't see?
From there, things usually get weird.
I write whatever story shows up next, which means I bounce between children's stories, speculative fiction and anything else that refuses to leave me alone. When I am not writing, I'm hanging out with my four amazing kids and working.
Also bring aggressively pursued by fictional premises.
Today, Worlds by Natosha Duarte stands as a testament to that evolution. Each project—whether a finished novel or a developing short story—is an invitation to step into a meticulously crafted reality. My process is one of deep research and evocative sensory detail, aimed at transporting readers to places that feel like home, yet entirely new. This is more than storytelling; it is a lifelong pursuit of capturing the heart of the human experience through the lens of the fantastic.
