Nattie By Nature


Hey, Y’all!

Despite the busy day I had at my first book festival, I was able to create a blog in celebration of another birthday: Natalie Violet Marcellia.

Natalie Violet Marcellia is the youngest child and only daughter of Jack and Mary Ann Marcellia. She has one older brother, Jonathan Stephen, who currently resides in Atlanta, GA. When Natalie was born on October 2, 1984, her mom and dad were debating on her middle name. At that point, they overheard the doctor saying that Natalie “looks like a little violet.” Thus, she was christened Natalie Violet.

Natalie is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, but when she graduated from high school in 2002, her family moved to Torrance, California—just thirty minutes away from Bret and Susie Douglas. A shy sweetheart of a gal, Natalie had trouble making new friends, so she often gravitated toward her childhood friends Howard, Sarah, and Nicole. Natalie always had a crush on Howard, despite the latter's oblivious attitude. Here it is, some 20 years later, and Natalie still has feelings for Howard. When asked why she likes Howard so much, Natalie simply says: "Well, he's a good guy, and he's always been nice to me... even when he was 'mean' to me."

Natalie like to consider herself a "simple little Southern gal, born and bred in North Cacka-Lacky.
