A. P. Bartels

A. P. Bartels was born and raised outside Chicago. She graduated from Elmhurst College in 2005 with a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She lives in the suburbs with her husband and two dogs.

As someone whose career has always focused on the analytical, writing was a way for this Indie author to spread her right-brained wings. Blending her creative and logical sides is something A. P. Bartels does to keep her brain happy and her emotions balanced. Drawing inspiration from her favorite authors, artists, and movies, she has been known to play the same 5-10 songs on repeat for months while writing in order to stay focused on the mood and motivations of her characters. You'll find her watching movie clips and obsessing over the characters in her favorite novels in order to isolate the qualities she wishes to bring out in her own characters.
