Turquoise Green Winter is the emotional conclusion of Carina Bartsch’s captivating two-book romance.

Carina Bartsch was born in 1985 in Erlangen, Germany, in the Franconia region of Bavaria. Her love of writing came late, but intensely. After searching since childhood for something she would really enjoy doing, she finally wrote her first short story at age twenty. Instantly, she realized: this is it. Four years later, after she had won several writing competitions, Bartsch published her debut novel, Cherry Red Summer.
