I’ve been telling stories with happy endings most of my life. Pre-kindergarten (we did not have a TV back then) my grandmother read Madge Bigham’s lovely tale, Sonny Elephant, to me over and over. I loved the story, still do, but I just didn’t like the ending. (Three-year-olds are perverse creatures.) My grandmother told me we could tell the story any way we liked, so each time she read the book, she would stop at the last chapter, and I would make up an ending I liked better. That was the start of my literary career. But hardly the end.

When I was in the third grade, we had a spelling test every Friday. While our teacher, Mrs. Robinson, graded the papers, she would let students volunteer to entertain the class by telling a story or a joke or singing. I always had a story to tell, and the other kids seemed to like them.

My path has included a degree in mathematics and English. I stopped just short of a master’s in computer science to have my daughter. I have worked as a programmer, a technical writer, a forensic accountant, a seamstress (which paid for my horse’s board while I was in college), an office manager, a horse trainer, riding instructor, and stable owner, and now I have become an author–possibly my greatest adventure yet.

Nowadays, I live with my husband in Fernandina Beach, Florida, where I get to watch the waves and feel the sand with my feet every day.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am most grateful for my loyal fans, and I love to correspond with readers like you.

Denise Bartlett, Gypsy Shadow Publishing

Denise has been writing since 1962, when she was in the third grade. She has written short stories, novelettes, poetry and novels. She published newspaper columns on gardening and surviving tax audits. “I remember high school and how I was wished somebody would help me write instead of all this other stuff. If mentorship had been available when I was writing every spare minute in high school, I would’ve been a professional writer straight out of high school.”

Gypsy Shadow Publishing began its journey by following the trend toward eBook publications and other innovative publishing concepts. Each of the principals has a love of and commitment to providing quality, professional, exciting works to the public. Gypsy Shadow came into being as an Indie publishing company for the purpose of giving new and seasoned authors alike a chance to shine in the world of the written word, without some of the hype and pressure of more conventional established companies.

We pledge our utmost dedication to you in publishing manuscripts that are both professionally edited and formatted as well as new and creative. We feel the publishing community affords room for new ideas, such as experimental and multi-genre stories and novels, and we encourage authors to explore their imaginations to produce concepts that have not received the acclaim they deserve.
