Bernadette Klein

Bernadette, who also goes by the name Bess, had an insatiable urge to devour books from a young age. By the age of six, she had already eaten three picture books and an antique fairy tale book before eventually transitioning to reading, which significantly improved the longevity of her library. With such enthusiasm for the medium, it was only a matter of time before she began writing herself.

Currently, she enjoys writing dark fantasy filled with fast-paced action, non-toxic romance, and queer characters. Her debut series, “Seelenbande” (Soul Bonds), was completed in 2024 with the third installment but will soon be expanded with a prequel, serving as an accessible introduction to this fascinating urban fantasy world.

With the release of her magic-punk cozy crime novel, “Tote vergeben nicht” (The Dead Don’t Forgive), she ventures into new waters.

Additionally, she regularly writes drabbles and longer short stories, which she publishes on her blog and as anthologies on Amazon.
