Natalie Hart is a writer of biblical fiction and of picture books for children who were adopted when they were older. Her father was an entrepreneur, so she never intended to be one herself, but she’s about to independently publish everything — a Kickstarter will start in a week for As Real As It Gets, a picture book about a boy who is scared to yell “You’re not my real mother,” but can’t help it, and then how she reacts; and forthcoming in October, The Giant Slayer, an imaginative retelling of the first eight years of adventure in the life of the man who would become Israel’s King David.
