Marit Prins may just look like your average nearly-forty woman, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's mind, until they start to write books. Ever guessed that mother you wave to at school writes spicy steamy alien books? Or heard an ABBA song and thought how funny it would be if you summoned a demon with that song? As a certified romance reader, Marit has been loving romance ever since she secretly found her grandmother's stash. American romance opened up a whole new world, and since she has been making up stories since she can remember - it was now time to put them on paper. If you like crazy, spicy stories about aliens and monsters, stay tuned. There is much more to come. When Marit is not writing, she is either running, cycling or sewing, but most of the time she can be found with a nice romantic suspense or crazy monster romance.
