Bettina Maass-Muenster was born in 1980 and started writing when she was only 13 years old. Over the years she has published several novels in German and English. The idea for this novel came without any warning several years ago. Within half an hour she wrote down the complete plot. This novel contains her love for books, old houses, secrets, darkness and fantasy stories as well as her passion for interpersonal relationships and the sexual excitement between two people, this erotic prickling you can't fight against. As German readers have been asking for a prosecution for years now, Bettina Maass-Muenster just recently started to work on The Curse II. The writer lives with her family in a village near Hanover and in Ireland and is constantly writing new novels.
