I have been writing stories since I was around thirteen or fourteen years old.  It started out as a way to get rid of my stress, whether it was familial, personal, academic, religious (I'm Jewish, I live in a community where there aren't a lot of other Jewish people and I don't have a lot of Jewish friends), or some combination of all of those.  However, I learned that I really like to write and have written dozens of unpublished stories (fan fictions and original stories) both on paper and on my flash drive.

While in college, I majored in Criminal Justice and minored in Creative Writing.  I aspire to be a case analyst with a focus on the death penalty and a creative writer in my spare time and hope that my skills as a writer can help me achieve both of these goals.

In case anyone wants to reach me directly, they can send emails to bethaniegartner@gmail.com.

Thank you and enjoy my stories!
