Book Release Party

"Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette said when she was told her subjects had no bread to eat . . . Evil, right? Well not nearly as evil as Demon's Ink. But this cake was a seriously tasty temptation created by the Chopped winning chocolate rush artist, Mindy Simmons, of  Decadent Creations.

But here's how we celebrated the demonic tattoo artist who just arrived in Portland, Oregon. . .


with Henna tattoos galore created by The Blue Lotus Henna. There were dozens of flowers:






 And birds:
and more dangerous animals like lions
Scorpions:
and even dragonflies
and even powerful triforces


And there were plenty of other beautiful designs:






It was a fun way to spend an evening...celebrating a scary story.

Shadows of the Past by Carmen Stefanescu






Author bio:
 
            Carmen Stefanescu resides in Romania, the native country of the infamous vampire Count Dracula, but 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.
            Teacher of English and German in her native country and mother of two daughters, Carmen Stefanescu survived the grim years of oppression, by escaping in a parallel world, that of the books. 
She has dreamed all her life to become a writer, but many of the things she wrote during those years remained just drawer projects. 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.
Shadows of the Past, paranormal/light romance/light mystery/light horror was released at the end of 2012 by Wild Child publishing, USA.

                      Shadows of the Past

                      Carmen Stefanescu

Publisher: Wild Child Publishing

Genre: paranormal/light romance/light historical/light horror.
                       Blurb
Anne's relationship with her boyfriend Neil has disintegrated. After a two-year separation, they pack for a week vacation in hopes of reconciling. But fate has other plans for them.

The discovery of a bejeweled cross and ancient human bones opens a door to a new and frightening world--one where the ghost of a medieval nun named Genevieve will not let Anne rest. This new world threatens not only to ruin Anne and Neil's vacation but to end all hopes of reconciliation as Anne feels compelled to help free Genevieve's soul from its torment.

Can Anne save her relationship and help Genevieve find her eternal rest?

A touching, compelling story of tragedy, loss and the power of endless love and good magic.

The twists and turns in this paranormal tale keep the reader guessing up to the end and weave themselves together into a quest to rekindle love.
