Carmen Bio:
I learned at an early age that fantasizing about fictional characters and places beat doing math homework any day. In high school, I began sharing my tales with my classmates, who started asking me for more. I’d always dreamed of becoming a published writer, although life and its surprises often got in the way.
Traveling, learning languages, and discovering new cultures have always been passions of mine. I’ve been blessed to visit beautiful places in North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and I met amazing people along the way.
I achieved a B.A. in Tourism in my hometown in Brazil and was soon invited to work in the USA, which is where I met my sexy, broody Swiss husband. A Brazilian and a Swiss met and fell in love in Texas. No wonder I’m a romance novelist!
When I’m not writing, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, taking our three high-energy pugs to the park, and skydiving—well, not really, but I wanted to sound cool.

Questions #5
Tiff- Who inspired you to write?
Carmen- At the early at of 6 Carmen had lost her wonderful father who was a congressman in Brazil at the time. Camen dealt with some of the sadness by writing. She used writing as an outlet for expression. Tragically her brother was killed by a drunk driver Rodrigo Falcone. Her Brother had also inspired her to write. He wrote poems and was a gentle soul. After he was killed she had writer’s block for a long time. Carmen went to therapy and began to heal. She said that writing is the best therapy. Carmen began writing on Sundays just as she did as a child. Another person by the name of William Pinmeiro a high school teacher told Camen’s mom she was a brilliant writer.
That compliment propelled her to become a writer and take it seriously.
