about me

I write for a living – I've written screenplays, I'm working on a PhD in eighteenth-century fiction and my first novel 'Mr Rosenblum's List' is being published by Sceptre (Hodder) in the UK in April 2010 and Little, Brown in the US on June 21st.

I keep a blog about my experiences as a first time novelist and the publishing process at: natashasolomons.com

I'm happy to answer any questions over at my blog or on the forum if you leave me a message on my authonomy page.
