Natalie Hopkins introduces her debut fantasy series, A Tail of Two Squirrels, with Book 1 – Falling for You.

She currently lives in Cwmbrân, South Wales with her partner Sue and their 3 miniature dachshunds; George, Berticus and Stanley.

During her life she has worked in assorted places around the world; as a SCUBA Diving Instructor in Sinai, Egypt and Pralin, Seychelles and Jersey as well as around the UK.

She has worked for the NHS as an Operating Department Practitioner and then for 12 years as a Debt, Benefits and Energy Supervisor for Citizens Advice.

Natalie decided she needed a complete change of career and lifestyle so retrained as an Holistic Therapists and is now a certified and insured Clinical Hypnotherapist, Licensed Auricular, YNSA, Facial and Microsystems Acupuncturist, Talking and Trauma Counsellor, Reiki Master and Pain Management Practitioner using healing, meditation, acupuncture and flower essences remedies for healing.

Natalie joined a Spiritual Group where her hereditary gifts came to the forefront to read oracle cards with intuition and reading Goddess Runes by using Shamanic gifts.

Just before leaving Citizens Advice a colleague asked her to write a story about her Shamanic animals which are Squirrels and Wolves. She began to write a short story about two squirrels and how the one was discriminated against for her colour and sexuality and it all escalated from there.

She was guided through the whole process by Spirit, her friend Claire did her proof reading and Claire’s sister Rebecca who is a Professional Artist designed her book covers and after being told to send out 15 queries Olympia Publishers accepted her manuscript and she is already in the process of writing the next couple of books in the Tails of Two Squirrels Series plus she is adapting some of her other stories into Novels.
