I met Natasha last fall at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia. Natasha's father teaches in the English Department at Hollins and Natasha graduated from the Creative Writing Program at Hollins. Natasha joined two other writers (one being Lee Smith) to talk about their writing. She was very impressive both in her personal style (demeanor) and in the way she expressed herself.
