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.

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.
