Carmen DeSousa
The biggest mystery in my life is how I managed to overcome all the obstacles life has tossed in my path to end up where I am today. The reason that, while I write romantic suspense, women's fiction, and paranormal novels, each of my stories have a common thread of love and forgiveness.
My entire life has been an outline for not one, but a series of books. In fact, I often dribble tidbits of my life into my stories: good and bad. As many authors, my first novel, "She Belongs to Me," includes more of my life than any other. I leave it to the readers, though, to figure out what's real and what's fiction. More often than not, what seems impossible is usually the part of the story that really happened. After all, as we all know, truth is usually stranger than fiction.
