edit data

Bistra Stoimenova is also known as Бистра Стоименова.

I started writing at age 11. Then, with all the enthusiasm I had, I started to invent worlds of my own.

It has been like that ever since. Characters live in my head and line up to tell their stories. I completed my first novel at 17 (100 pages of handwritten text I wrote in-between and after classes) but then needed to take some break from writing and school and university life took their toll on me.

8 years and 4 university degree certificates later, I came back to writing. The first three books I wrote are a fan-fic of my favourite urban fantasy series. You can read them here in Bulgarian. I still post a chapter each week, as the volume is huge.

Можеш!

Как започва успехът ли?
С една-единствена дума: МОЖЕШ.

Просто изречение, мощно послание. И не защото е част от реклама (*изключително добра реклама, между другото). Защото казва истината.

Bistra Stoimenova liked Tanya Krasteva's review of 112: "Завладяваща история, която ме държа на тръни до последната секунда! В началото си мислех, че заради малкият обем на книгата ще е някое по-леко крими тип епизод от Местопрестъплението Маями, но леле, колко бях в грешка! Като женс на моменти ме побиваха" Read more of this review »

Bistra Stoimenova liked Maggie Chakarova's review of 112: "Шок и потрес! На един дъх прочетох историята и направо ми прилоша. Хорор? Мистерия със сигуронст. Самият факт, че е вдъхновено от истински случай направи историята още по-смущаваща. Мъчно ми е за Ромеро, но за жалост това е истинският живот… не всеки" Read more of this review »

Bistra Stoimenova liked Gergana Angelova's review of Полет 370: "Книгата ме грабна на първо място с факта, че се базира на реално трагично събитие, забулено в догадки и предположения вече десетилетие. Авторката умело преплита реални факти в художествената измислица, прави ни съпричастни с трагедията на героите и н" Read more of this review »
