Vanessa Gray Bartal



Vanessa Gray Bartal is an avid reader who also loves to write. She has written over forty novels, ranging from young adult to coming-of-age adult stories, including several series. She is a full time mother to her young daughter as well as an accomplished baker (for which her astoundingly handsome husband is truly grateful).

After spending two years at Olivet Nazarene University, Vanessa transferred to Mount Vernon Nazarene University, where she graduated with a degree in communications. During her time at Olivet, Vanessa developed a love for big cities and the cultural kaleidoscope each provides. She currently resides tucked away in the Ohio countryside, but she enjoys traveling. Vanessa is a bit of a foodie and loves searching out the hidden gems in each place she visits.
