Stories begin long before the first page.

Join my newsletter for early chapters, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and quiet updates from the worlds I’m building—before they’re finished, and sometimes before they’re even certain.

  • I typically send 1–2 emails a month. Sometimes a little more if there’s a new release or something I’m especially excited to share. No spam, no daily floods—just thoughtful updates when there’s something worth opening.

  • A mix of behind-the-scenes writing updates, early looks at my books, and the occasional peek into the creative process. Think stories, insights, and first access—before anything goes public. And of course, you can choose your preferences.

  • As one of my Inklings, you’ll have early access to advanced reader copies of my books, opportunities for giveaways, be among the first to hear about any upcoming projects, and receive exclusive short stories. 

    You’ll get an email with a link to the secrets page once you’ve subscribed and can read any of the available stories for free.

  • You can choose your preferences up front, email me at any time to change what you want to hear about, or unsubscribe from specific groups while keeping the ones you want to hear about.

  • Each offers a slightly different experience—what you’ll receive, what stories you’ll see, and how I show up in your inbox. You can compare them in the section below.

  • It’s for readers who are also writers, or who enjoy seeing how stories are built from the inside out. These emails/blogs can be more technical and talk about writing craft.

  • I’m glad you asked! I’m Natalie Brianne, author of books across a variety of genres. If you want to learn more, keep scrolling! I have an about me section at the bottom.

Not All Stories Feel the Same

Over time, I’ve realized some stories naturally speak more strongly to certain readers than others. But even within the same genre, the experience can feel entirely different depending on tone, pacing, and focus.

I write across genres—from grounded mysteries to speculative worlds—but the thread between them is always character, tension, and emotional depth.

The Gold and Silver Collections are my way of making my books easier to navigate—so you can find your story.

Gold Collection

Stories set in historical-inspired worlds with mystery, atmosphere, and subtle magic or fantastical elements. Cozy, warm, golden, vibes.

Includes:

  • Historical mystery stories

  • Historical fantasy or retellings

  • Atmospheric, slow-burn plots

  • Secrets, investigations, and hidden truths

  • Strong focus on setting and mood

Example Projects:

  • A historical mystery set in Victorian London

  • Secret Societies

  • Slow-burn romance.

Dreamweavers (Future Production)

  • YA fantasy with a renaissance-style Italian backdrop.

  • Magic systems based on emotions, dreams, and memories.

  • A world built on dreams with a protagonist who has never had one.

  • Lots of references to fabric/weaving/looms. (i.e. fabric of the world, the Great Unraveling, Dreamweavers, etc.)

Silver Collection

Stories set in speculative or futuristic-leaning worlds involving science fantasy, time travel, or altered reality. Sleek, cool, silver vibes.

Includes:

  • Science fantasy stories

  • Time travel narratives

  • Alternate reality or speculative fiction

  • Action-driven or discovery-based plots

Hello there! I’m Natalie Brianne.

I believe that stories are fundamentally human: 

From the first story told around a campfire to a kindle library loaded with thousands of books, storytelling is part of our DNA. And everyone deserves stories.

​

I believe in the power of words:

Our words can build bridges or tear them down. They are the threads that weave the tapestry of life!

​

I believe in the power of choice:

Because readers are not one thing. No one is. Sometimes we want comfort and grounding. Sometimes we want tension and mystery. Sometimes we want to explore far beyond the edges of the familiar.
