D.R. Bartlette

D.R. Bartlette is a Southern author who writes true crime and dark fiction. A nerdy weirdo who hung out in libraries way too much, she discovered true crime at an inappropriately early age, and her mind has been twisted ever since. She wrote her first short story in eighth grade. Since then, she’s written dozens of short stories, articles, and essays from topics ranging from school lunches to the study of human decomposition. Her first non-fiction book, The Dumond Affair: How Lies and Politics Freed a Killer, is shocking true story of political power, conspiracy, and the deadly consequences of justice undone. She lives and writes in her hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas, where she still hangs out at the library.
