About

Natalie Gist went to school in Leicester- her form room was about twenty feet from the car park where Richard III had laid hidden for five hundred years. She had always wondered where all of the tutting was coming from in History lessons.

After leaving school, Natalie became an undergraduate at Warwick University.  She wrestled a law degree from them and qualified as a solicitor in 2001, practising in Commercial Property in Stratford upon Avon for nearly fifteen years.

In 2007 Natalie became a mother for the first time and wrote her first book ‘A Mummy’s Guide to Gardening’ in 2009.  That baby is now at university and she is wondering where the time went.

Like every other writer, Natalie is always trying to find new and interesting ways of not writing her next book. Fortunately, she was elected a District Councillor in May 2023 and holds the Law and Governance Portfolio at Stratford on Avon District Council, both of which keep her very busy indeed. This has also given her lots of notes for another book which when she writes it, you’ll all think is a fantasy novel.

Natalie lives with her partner, her three children and a selection of furry and feathery family members in South Warwickshire.
