THE AUTHOR
Carmen Manzaneque was born in Campo de Criptana (Ciudad Real) in February 1957 and, since she was twelve years old, she lives in Illescas (Toledo).
His love for letters began at age five, when he discovered, in his first readings, the pleasure of poetry and set out to be a poet.
As a teenager, his father, a professional photographer, offered him another way by putting a Nikon in his hands and the possibility of learning at his side.
At age 23, she married, her children were born and the photography was changed by the furniture sector.
During all these years, Carmen never gave up the dream she had as a child, so she continued to write for herself and her family numerous stories, poetry and even a collection of children's stories.
