The Hut

A retelling of The Hut In The Forest

by Katharina Gerlach

Once upon a time in a world where magic and technology collide with unexpected consequences…

As a mechanic, Tessa lives a dangerous live ever since the new king outlawed technology. Little does she suspect the true reason for this law. But when she discovers a hut in the forest with an obviously cursed inhabitant, she gets drawn into a political intrigue that might destroy not only the kingdom but her family too.

What if the Brothers Grimm misjudged the strength and intent of the curse on “The Hut in the Forest”?

The book includes a bonus story and the original fairy tale.

DRM-free DRM is a form of coding than makes it impossible to legally use an eBook on other eReaders. Since I don't want to patronize my readers, I am not using DRM. This way, everyone who buys one of my eBooks can convert it into the format supported by his/her eReader.

About the Author

Katharina Gerlach was born in Germany in 1968. She and her three younger brothers grew up in the middle of a forest in the heart of the Luneburgian Heather. After romping through the forest with imagination as her guide, the tomboy learned to read and disappeared into magical adventures, past times or eerie fairytale woods.

She didn't stop at reading. During her training as a landscape gardener, she wrote her first novel, a manuscript full of a beginner's mistakes. Fortunately, she found books on Creative Writing and soon her stories improved. For a while, reality interfered with her writing but after finishing a degree in forestry and a PhD in Science she returned to her vocation. She likes to write Fantasy, Science Fiction and Historical Novels for all age groups.

At present, she is writing at her next project in a small house near Hildesheim, Germany, where she lives with her husband, three children and a dog.
