**NOTE:  Updates to Six Months Later will be posted every Friday evening!**

Hi there!  I'm Natalie Richards, and my debut novel, Six Months Later, was released October 1, 2013 with Sourcebooks Fire.  I am....OVER THE MOON about it!!

A little about me?  I'm a cookie-baking, power-reading, boots-loving, sushi-eating, YA-fiction-maniac.  I'm prone to eating too much chocolate, wearing Snuggies when I write (it's getting cold, yo!) and drinking entirely too much caffeine (Starbucks peppermint mocha is my fave.)  I'm also a proud fangirl of a zillion things that make my nerd heart happy (Star Wars, Buffy, Veronica Mars, Firefly, Star Trek, Iron Man, Harry Potter, and Hunger Games to name a few)  Most recently I've been tuning in to Elementary, Sleepy Hollow, and The Walking Dead.  Oh, and I talk.  A lot.  

A little about Six Months Later?  It's a psychological thriller about a girl who falls asleep and wakes up half a year later to a perfect boyfriend, Ivy-League worthy grades, and a rush of popularity.  But if everything's so perfect, why isn't her best friend speaking to her?  And why does the wrong boy make her heart race?  

Worst of all, why can't she remember how any of this happened?

I'm super excited to share some of the book with you and hope you enjoy it.  If you want more of Six Months Later, the full paperback or e-book novel can be purchased on Barnes&Noble.com, indiebound.com, amazon.com, iBooks, and Sourcebooks.com.  :-)

Thanks so much for checking me out!  I'd love to hear from you, so drop me a line or visit me on Twitter or Facebook!
