Duration: 60 minutes
Nat Amoore didn’t always want to be an author and she never dreamed she COULD be. But an almost unbelievable career path and a life full of adventure gave her the experiences to fill the books she writes today. From reality TV shows to a travelling circus, rock concerts to Caribbean sail boats, discover why Nat’s written adventures seem larger than life—but perhaps are not.
