Natale Ghent is an award-winning author and journalist. She has been writing stories and poems since she was a very young girl and hopes to continue until she is a very old woman. Her early stories revolved heavily around a family of single-celled circles: Momma Circle, Daddy Circle, and two Baby Circles. All the Circles looked pretty much the same, except that the Momma Circle wore a mink stole and the Daddy Circle wore a hat, naturally. Evolving from circles to stylized stick fairies, Natale has slowly moved up the evolutionary ladder to working with animals, humans and beyond (angels, faeries, the little people). When she’s not writing, she can be found camping in the woods of Northern Ontario.
