"Talent renders the whole idea of rehearsal meaningless; when you find something at which you are talented, you do it (whatever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes are ready to fall out of your head. Even when no one is listening (or reading, or watching), every outing is a bravura performance, because you as the creator are happy. Perhaps even ecstatic."

-Stephen King, "On Writing"

Welcome.

You’ve arrived at the Official Website of Michael J. Natale. I’m a genre fiction writer from Rhode Island.

Take a look around, there’s some samples from new fiction I’m working on up there in the In Progress section. I’ll be updating that regularly, rotating samples in and out, so check back there often.

The Fiction page has a list of my published work with links to the stories that are still available out there for you to enjoy, free of charge.

I’ve even won an Award. Go me.

I’m currently putting together an anthology of short stories titled Don’t Look Now that I intend to release via the Apple iBookstore. It will be a collection of the best of my previously published work, and a bunch of new stuff that I’m working on. Head over to the In Progress section to sample some of it.

If you happen to be an Agent who is looking for new talent, be sure to say “Hey.”. I write novels as well, and I’d love to talk to you.
