Biography

DeBartolo is the daughter of former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr. She attended the all-girls Villa Maria High School and dropped out her senior year when she was not allowed to graduate early. DeBartolo later obtained her GED and graduated from UC Berkeley with a philosophy degree, then moved to Los Angeles. She has previously lived in New York City and Boulder, Colorado, and now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. DeBartolo's novel writing career began after her screenwriting/directorial debut, with God-Shaped Hole (2002) and How to Kill a Rock Star (2005), both from Sourcebooks Landmark. Sidney Sheldon has praised DeBartolo's sophomore novel, saying it has "Wonderful characters wrapped up in a story that moves like an express train". God-Shaped Hole was published in the UK as The Shape of My Heart. In 2020, DeBartolo released Sorrow published by Woodhall Press. Sorrow was inspired by the song of the same name by The National from their 2010 album High Violet. She also wrote the text for Grace: Based on the Jeff Buckley Story, a graphic novel about American musician Jeff Buckley (2019).
