and the earth under our feet."
About Me
I’m Natasha Woodcraft and I live in a slightly crumbling old farmhouse in Lincolnshire, UK, with my husband, Ben, my 4 sons, and a small menagerie of animals.
I have been a follower of Jesus for as long as I can recall. There was never a time when I rejected the good news, but it was much later I learnt to listen to God.
Many moons ago, I studied theology at university. I had a thought I might re-write classic theological works into modern language but it seems that wasn’t what God had in mind.
I have always been very active within church, yet it was a period of inactivity, where I was forced to sit at Jesus’ feet and admit my weaknesses, that taught me most about my Saviour. That was when I began writing songs, and the things I learnt during that time I’ve later woven into my stories.
Stories? Yes, despite my intentions about being a non-fiction writer, the first idea God gave me was for a series of Biblical fiction novels. I had some serious brain fog after having 4 kids, and found I could engage with stories better than with non-fiction. Turns out I could write them better too! I now believe passionately that stories have power to communicate deep truth and transform lives.

Awakening the Light out now!
The first book in my new Christian Fantasy Series , Awakening the Light, is out now and in stock!
Here’s what Dystopian writer EM Carter had to say about it:
‘It’s difficult to find good quality fiction for young adults that centres and reveals biblical truths. In Awakening the Light, Natasha Woodcraft has created an immersive, exciting fantasy tale that acts as an allegorical expression of God’s saving love. It will hook young readers (and older ones!) quickly with its collection of well-drawn, relatable characters and its fast-moving plot. Building to an explosive conclusion, it is a tale of good and evil, kindness and sacrifice, and darkness and light. I was left eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. Highly recommended!’
