Author: Karina Bartow

Karina Bartow grew up and still lives in Northern Ohio. Though born with Cerebral Palsy, she’s never allowed her disability to define her. Rather, she’s used her experiences to breathe life into characters who have physical limitations, but like her, are determined not to let them stand in the way of the life they want. Her debut novel, Husband in Hiding was released in 2015 and was well-received by readers. She’s excited about her upcoming love story, to be released by Vinspire Publishing in 2018. She may only be able to type with one hand, but she writes with her whole heart! To learn more, visit www.KarinaBartow.com
