#MFRWauthor Carmen Stefanescu resides in Romania, the native country of the infamous vampire Count Dracula where, for about 50 years of communist dictatorship, just speaking about God, faith, reincarnation or paranormal phenomena could have led someone to great trouble - the psychiatric hospital if not to prison.
High-school teacher of
English and German in her native country, Carmen survived the grim years of oppression by escaping in a parallel world, that of the
books. Reading was, is and will always be her greatest hobby.
The fall of the Ceausescu’s regime in
1989, and the opening of the country to the world meant a new beginning for
her. She started publishing. Poems first, and then prose. Both in English.
She likes to blend
genres and thus she writes paranormal stories with a smidgen of mystery,
history and romance. The reader will find suspense, dark themes, adventure,
danger as well as sweet revenge. She calls her stories “gothic” romance. Her
writing focuses on rebirth, past life regression, karmic retribution.
