| Introduction | Franciscus van Munster was born and raised in the Netherlands. He has lived all over Europe, in North America and in New Zealand. As soon as he learned to write, he could not stop. Via a two-page "novel" when he was six, short stories, school paper articles and an unfinished book, he took advantage of a three-month sabbatical in 2004-2005 to write his first novel. During seven years of editing, revising and trying to get published the regular way, new technologies developed that make digital self publishing very easy. Thanks to this, a lifelong dream has now come true. |
