CHANGE IS FREEDOM
Hi, I’m Tina Brescanu. I’m Swedish/Finnish and I live in Dublin, Ireland.
I’m a mum, spirit author and a freelance journalist.
The first instalment of my spiritual fiction/fantasy tween/teen trilogy Warriors of Change:Sentenced to School was released 22 October 2011 by Pickawoowoo/MBS Press Australia
My early reader’s story, AJE, will be released by Brighter Books Canada 2012
Laughter Will Save The World is a joint project with my children, the story is available on Amazon Kindle only.
I'm in the process of writing the second instalment of Warriors of Change, Breaking Free from School.
Writing is like an adventure for me, a journey into the unknown. I like to find the spirit in the ordinary and familiar where fiction and fantasy are wider angles of truth.
I was born in Karlskoga, Sweden 1969 and grew up in the central Swedish area of Bergslagen, in the village Striberg and the town Nora where I blossomed into a rebellious young girl with a love for unconventionality, unusualness and the opposite of normal. Stories are life essential, and life changing and although I have always written it wasn't until my children came along and inspired me to write for them that I got serious about my writing. I started to write in Swedish but changed to English as that had become my first language. I'm hoping to publish in Swedish too one day, in the same genre:spiritual fantasy/fiction for children.

Were you Sentenced to School?
When Swedish Irish based author, Tina Brescanu, was 7 she ran home the first day of school as she was told to start competing against her classmates, for life. No nurturing of the human spirit, just plain competition.
So the question to ask ourselves may be, "is school an anti-child institution, a control centre where forced teaching and competition is part of keeping students docile, passive and non-questioning?
For many sensitive children like Tina this was the beginning of a very long roller coaster ride. When asked what did she do to cope at school Tina replied "I used laughter as a life saving mechanism and I swore always to investigate what I had been told was a fact."
Luckily for her fan base of readers and teenagers worldwide, two of Tina's teachers ventured further than the education plan; her Swedish teacher and her English teacher. They nurtured her passion for storytelling, for words, for language and despite leaving school early, going on to learn more from life, Tina still gives thanks to these two extraordinary teachers.
However, like many of us she succumbed to the deep sleep of adulthood, but Tina is grateful that she was awoken many years later by her two children. They reminded her of her love of writing.
Warriors of Change:Sentenced to School is the first in a trilogy for unconventional children and young people with deep hearts.
"So different but so true!"
"Empowering!" "Awesome!" are just some of the words that have been used to describe Tina's new Warriors of Change series.

Laughter is a skill. Do you practice?
Promise was born laughing. Instead of crying when she was hungry, needed changing or a cuddle, she laughed. Growing up with her grandmother in a deserted by parents village, she practised her special skill every day by helping others find their laughter. When her parents return to take her back, away from her village, to another country, Promise has to find the origin of laughter in order to save the world, her world.
