The beginning

At fourteen, Natalie Frank wrote her debut book, a historical fiction novel centered around the men aboard U-505, the first-captured German U-boat, and the men aboard the USS Guadalcanal who captured them. After six months of writing and editing, Natalie self-published the novel on Amazon.com. It launched at a local exhibition. The book garnered local acclaim and garnered significant media attention. Per invitation, Natalie gave many presentations, including at the Fox Cities Book Festival, on the art of historical fiction, the effective collection of research, and the emotional resonance brought to the narrative. 

Media attention and collaboration with local libraries led to the sale of over 300 copies, an excellent achievement for a budding writer. Natalie's debut book served as a testament to her love of writing; it foreshadowed a promising future as a literary force unafraid to write about interpersonal complexity in history and fantasy.
