“We might have lost a lot—time, people, even shared ideas and mindsets—but we were a family. And that should still mean something in the end.”

– Hazel, A Strange Melody

“I would make a name for myself. I would live up to—and surpass—their dreams for me. I would keep everyone I loved inside my heart, and I would tell their stories.
And so I set off to become the story girl, and followed the road wherever it went on.”

– Hazel, A Strange Melody

My name is Natalie Zwolanek, and my favorite genre to write is fantasy. My unofficial motto is “give me magic or give me death.” Or dragons. I’m flexible.
