Accomplished Author Writes 70+ Stories Inspired By The Devastation of Famagusta, Cyprus
Palmetto Publishing Announces The Release Of Evocative Fiction Anthology HAUNTING VOICES
/EIN News/ -- Charleston, SC, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vivian Avraamidou Ploumbis announces her most recent release: a collection of 73 short stories directly inspired by the tragedy and destruction in her hometown in Famagusta, Cyprus.
As a child, Avraamidou Ploumbis witnessed the devastation in Varosha, once considered a “Forbidden Zone” because of the Turkish army’s involvement. As of 2020, a small portion has opened—but the area remains largely captured and destroyed.
“My short stories are inspired by photographs that either depict details of the debris that one sees in the ghost town or awaken memories of my early years. I want [readers] to see where nationalism can bring us,” said the author.
In her short stories, Avraamidou Ploumbis reveals the stark realities of conflict; especially how it affects generations of people in the most devastating ways. Haunting Voices will appeal to any sensitive, democratic, and just person who believes in brotherhood between nations. They will find resonating values and deep meaning in the stories Avraamidou Ploumbis writes.
Haunting Voices: The Mediterranean Jewel Speaks is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of her social media platforms
