About the author

Welcome to Under the Willow Tree, here the stories bloom wild—and every word is hand-carved with care (and maybe a little chaos).

​

I’m Natalie: author, editor, artist, and one woman show creating worlds from the eerie to the enchanted.

 

I spent five years haunting dark corridors and cornfields as a scare actor/SFX makeup artist, and now I create them through literary works, videos, and my podcast. Whether I'm scripting spell-soaked tales or exploring morbid mysteries and occult lore on TikTok and YouTube, I do it all myself—every line, every post, every ethereal illustration.

​

I have always been drawn to the unknown and fantasy. Worlds filled with magic, cryptids, knights in shining armor, etc. Reading those stories that make you feel as if you've been whisked away to another world is what I want to achieve in my future stories. Books that can transport you to another world where you become the characters, where you can feel what they are feeling. ​My stories are stitched with real-world witchcraft, emotional depth, and unapologetic weirdness. They honor transformation, found family, and the beauty of living just left of normal.

 

If you’ve ever felt drawn to foggy graveyards, strange history, or the magic of making something out of madness—you’re in good company.

​

So, grab a seat under the willow’s branches. The tea’s warm, the candles are lit, and everything you see here was crafted by one witch with way too many tabs open and a heart full of ghosts.
