Clarissa Cartharn is the author of romance novels such as Captive,Perfect Vengeance and the action/romance Jar series.

Traveling, learning new languages and cultures are some of her interests which have inspired her books.

After almost ten romance novels, each with eclectic themes ranging from angsty Cinderella inspirations to thrillers set in the barren war torn lands of Afghanistan, Clarissa is currently on a new adventure to find her next love story.

Her Writing Style:

Hi Pam, I know I am 3 years too late in answering this question. I rarely visit goodreads and didn't see this until just now.

Unfortunately, my books are enrolled in the KDP Select program and therefore am bound to release them only on Amazon.

Why I chose to make my Mulan modern

I have been asked by a few people why I chose to use modern language in an otherwise historical setting of Mulan.

Quotes by Clarissa Cartharn  (?)

“I sometimes feel martial arts movies are like porn. They're addictive and no one really watches it for the script.”
Clarissa Cartharn

“I believe in the power of words- be they for good or evil. I am a writer. Its power is all the more obvious in journalism and politics. Social media is all about the power of words. And so are our memes. People have fought wars for the liberty of free speech and free speech is made of words. So yes, be careful of how you use your words.”

“A book is the gateway to the soul of its author.”
A.R. Voss

“Turning into a vampire is like signing a supernatural contract and like any contract, there are clauses.
And there is the fine print.”
Cyma Rizwaan Khan, V Day

“When you name your child after a grotesque gigantic creature known for slaughtering hundreds of innocents for the sole purpose of entertainment (okay so they were illegal immigrants who entered his realm) you must have a slight idea how that would turn out.”
