About Natalie Richards
Fortunately for her, some of those stories got published.
When she's not writing a book with hopes of keeping readers up all night turning pages, you can find her falling asleep while reading, pursuing a hobby as a subpar potter, and wrangling her 126 pound (and counting) dog, Wookiee.
A champion of literacy and a frequent public speaker at libraries, schools, and conferences, Natalie lives in Central Ohio (Go Bucks!) with her wonderful family.

A "page-turning thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end" (School Library Journal) about a road trip in a snowstorm that turns into bone-chilling disaster, from New York Times bestselling mystery author and "master of tension" (BCCB) Natalie D. Richards.
She thought being stranded was the worst thing that could happen. She was wrong.
Mira needs to get home for the holidays. Badly. But when an incoming blizzard results in a canceled connecting flight, it looks like she might get stuck at the airport indefinitely.
And then Harper, Mira's glamorous seatmate from her initial flight, offers her a ride. Harper and her three friends can drop Mira off on their way home. But as they set off, Mira realizes fellow travelers are all total strangers. And every one of them is hiding something.
Soon, roads go from slippery to terrifying. People's belongings are mysteriously disappearing. Someone in the car is clearly lying, and may even be sabotaging the trip—but why? And can Mira make it home alive, or will this nightmare drive turn fatal?
