One Was Lost

There are several librarians, readers, bloggers, and teachers who have championed me in my writing journey. Amanda, Donna, Erin, Teddi, Sara, Stephanie, Cath, Pam V., and many more. Thank you with all my heart! You mean the world to me!

And, of course, my biggest thanks are always saved for my wonderful husband and our three beautiful children. They are my light in every dark place. All of this, every word, is only possible because of the four of you. I love you.





About the Author


A lifelong Ohioan, Natalie D. Richards spent many years applying her writing skills to stunningly boring business documents. Fortunately, she realized she’s much better at making things up and has been writing for teens ever since. A champion of aspiring authors, Richards is a frequent speaker at schools, libraries, and writing groups. She lives in Ohio with a Yeti and a Wookie (her dogs) and her wonderful husband and children. One Was Lost is her fourth novel.
