This is a Bulgarian fantasy author, known as Plamen Mitrev. He has 4 books as Leonard Carpenter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Painbearer (talk • contribs) 00:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Any evidence to back up this claim? I found only three references to it on the web, and only one with any pretence to authority. It lists another pseudonym as "Peter Tailler." I find only only one work ascribed to Plamen Mitrev in OCLC's Worldcat database, and none for Peter Tailler, and none ascribed either to Mitrev or Tailler on Amazon.com. Nor do the Internet Speculative Fiction Database or the Fantastic Fiction site have anything on Mitrev or Tailler. Unfortunately, Carpenter's own website includes very little personal data, and none to elucidate the mystery. I am more than a little inclined to suspect a hoax. BPK (talk) 19:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I can disprove this claim seeing as in I know him, he's my best friend's father. His website contains his resume. I will post a link as soon as I can. To add to this comment, the books made by Mitrev are not any of the books made by Carpenter. I'd suggest putting it on Mitrev's page that he went under an alias of Leonard Carpenter not to be confused with this author. -Shane —Preceding comment was added at 00:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I know Leonard Carpenter personally, any way I could contribute? -Shane
