Allan Gartner is a writer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

A graduate from Saint Cloud State University, Allan has spent much of his career in marketing, using creative writing to provide unique perspectives within advertisements, catalog descriptors, and brochures. 

Allan’s interest in writing struck early in life and his first ballpoint pen curved fiction to college-lined paper before the age of eighteen.  Allan still owns the original metal-ringed notebook holding that blue ink, and a story he will never change or re-write – a keepsake reminding him of his roots.

His debut novel is THE ABSOLUTION RIVER GANG, with other fictional works in-process, such as The Boundary Waters.
